Overview
Key facts
The 3-day block of the module covers the most common clinical presentations of functional (non-organic) neurological symptoms, ranging from psychogenic movement disorders to non-epileptic attacks. The diagnosis of somatoform disorders is explained with focus on the role of clinical examination and neuropsychiatric investigation in assisting the differential diagnosis between dissociation, factitious and malingering. Possible underlying mechanisms are explained and available management options are presented according to evidence levels.
University of Birmingham's Common Neuropsychiatric Disorders programme will teach you more about this topic.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the neurobiology of abnormal mental states in common neurological disorders so that they can apply this knowledge to improve patient outcomes. Identify the different presentations of functional neurological symptoms, including psychogenic movement disorders and non-epileptic attack disorder;
- Develop a structure for assessment and management of people who have these disorders which reflects a critical understanding of the literature and well-developed clinical reasoning. Understand the differential diagnosis between somatoform disorders, dissociative disorders, factitious disorders and malingering;
- Work with both neurological and psychiatric ideas to develop an integrated model of these disorders leading to an enhancement of clinical practice.
