Diagnosing and treating functional symptoms

February's JNNP is a neuropsychiatry special issue, with papers on a broad range of disorders which lie between neurology and psychiatry. Associate editor Alan Carson discusses the contents, and the thinking behind the edition.

To accompany the issue, JNNP and the Association of British Neurologists convened a roundtable of experts to discuss, and advise on, diagnosing and treating functional symptoms. Dr Carson takes part in this, along with:

Kailash Bhatia, professor of neurology, Institute of Neurology

Mark Edwards, neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery

Jon Stone, neurologist, University of Edinburgh, Western General Hospital
