At Johns Hopkins, our team of neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists work together to help diagnose and treat functional neurological symptom disorders (FNDs). The diagnostics and/or treatment process varies from person to person and can range from a one-time consultation to a comprehensive treatment program.

How We Can Help
Diagnosis
Functional Seizures
For patients whose primary symptom is seizures, we offer diagnostic workup to determine if the symptoms are due to a functional neurological disorder.
Functional Movement Disorder (FMD)
For patients whose primary symptoms are abnormal involuntary movements (non-seizures), we offer diagnostic workup to determine if the symptoms are due to a functional movement disorder.
