Qualitative systematic review on the lived experience of functional neurological disorder by Loyola McLean, Andrea Szasz, Anthony Korner

“…Two authors used an integrative immersion approach to identify the literature’s main themes using line-by-line and top-down methods.Results Eight main themes were identified: lost, body–mind dualism, preceding stressful events, relatedness, stigma, the battle or fight, the burden and losses of the illness and trust versus mistrust. From these emerged a central overarching theme of relationally regulated selves, which posits the essence of the lived experience of FND as responding to stressful experiences within a relational, regulatory context.Conclusions The prevalent themes give valuable insight into the lived experience of FND and the impact of stressors, past and present, and the relational environment in the development of and recovery from the disorder. …”
