More to come on online stigma, as well as anti-stigma material. 30/

You may have also heard @dr_caoimhe_mc presenting the huge joint effort exploring FND as a feminist issue at the recent @fndsociety meeting in Verona. jnnp.bmj.com/content/94/10/… 29/

This is one paper in a PhD from @dr_caoimhe_mc on stigma and FND. Another paper exploring how stigma unfolds over time in FND has also been published recently. doi.org/10.1016/j.jpsy…. 28/

Conclusion. Stigma drives lack of care for patients. Institutional changes, training, research and patients and health professionals working together are likely to help make FND legitimate & visible. 27/

The growing number of patient-led FND charities worldwide, health professional organisations such as @FNDsociety, increasing research, changes in curriculae and FND service pathways are all positive steps. 26/

There is evidence that stigma can be challenged and overcome. Studies show that having a shared understanding of FND, giving time, a clear care plan, & empowering the patient with a tailored, legitimate explanation that they could share with others were some key points. 26/

But it's not all gloom and doom. Stigma in FND can be overcome. 24/
