@YS_AHPs @YSPsychMed @UniOfHull @ChloeClinPsyD Without my placement with yourselves, I wouldn't be in the post-qualifed post I am today- i'm often reflecting back on what I learnt with you all! Would always recommend to any trainees deciding on elective placements🌺

Women's Health, Pregnancy and FND.
Recruiting for a new international study led by Alex Lehn and @IngridHoeritza1

If you are a woman (>18) with FND, PLEASE help by going to this link. https://t.co/0piX3G4Em5

Women's health has been neglected in FND.
It's time to change that.

2/We have been cultural indoctrinated into the idea that you can split illness into either physical or psychological. To understand FND you have to think multidimensional terms. The biopsychosocial model is the only framework broad enough to encapsulate the complexity of FND

[Jon Stone @jonstoneneuro]

There are huge regional disparities in FND care in the UK. But it would be really helpful to have more research documenting that

If you have FND please help with this research whether you’ve been able to access care or not.

@MrsClaireW1981 @TomPlender @ClinPsyD_Hull @rkhinchliffe Hi Claire, I'm so sorry, I've just had a chat with the researcher and even I have the email wrong! Give [email protected] a go, looks like we've both added an extra C to the surname😊

[Dr Amy Utting (she/her) @utting_amy]

85% of people living with chronic pain also live with depression.
But this is what we call a NORMAL response to an ABNORMAL situation.
Not everyone living with chronic pain is "mentally ill" + "imbalanced"🙄
This depression is *situational*
End. The. Stigma.🔥
