AbstractIn part due to a greater understanding of trauma and its manifestation as disease, the field of functional neurology has seen rapid development over the past decade with the inauguration of the Functional Neurological Disorder Society. Recent developments in our understanding of functional neurology are translatable to other functional disorders and have laid the groundwork for future research opportunities that foundation trainees can contribute towards. At the very least, trainees have a responsibility to be aware of the involuntary nature of these conditions and direct patients towards appropriate help. This guide to functional neurology aims to clear the fog on this collection of poorly recognised conditions so that empathy and understanding can shine through.© Royal College of Physicians 2021.
