“…At the same time, the link between anxiety and FMD may be more complex. Data also coming from Italy show that the rise in anxiety and depressive symptoms among FMD patients did not persist during the following waves [10], possibly due to a diversion of their attention from self-monitoring towards external aspects and reduced exposure to socially distressing factors (i.e. a paradoxical ‘beneficial’ consequence of social isolation).…”

“…Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) should be offered to all FTLB patients because of its proven efficacy and safety in FND [1,33]. More specifically for tic-like behaviours, Comprehensive Behavioural Intervention for Tics (CBIT) could be beneficial [10,13 ▪▪ ], with a particular focus on the functional behavioural assessment and intervention module, rather than on habit reversal therapy. Since CBT can be difficult to access, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, remote and self-guided CBT can be useful.…”

“…There has been an overall increase in new FMD presenting to neurology clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic ( 10 ). Despite this increase, individuals with preexisting FMD did not show significant variability or worsening of their symptoms during the pandemic ( 133 ). However, up to two-thirds of parents or individuals reported worsening of CTD symptoms ( 134 , 135 ).…”

“…Forty-one percent reported past physical or psychological trauma and a similar percentage reported depression. However, this is not a universal experience and an Italian study demonstrated stability of self-reported motor and nonmotor symptoms in patients with functional movement disorders during pandemic restriction periods [72].…”
