The study examines gender imbalance in functional neurological disorder, suggesting a need for gender-sensitive care and research.
The marked gender imbalance in FND arises from the interplay of biological vulnerability and gendered social adversity. Understanding these intersecting influences is essential for reducing stigma and guiding future research, diagnosis, and treatment. The findings support the need for a gender-sensitive, biopsychosocial approach to FND care, and investigation.
