Brilliant 3 part @BBC
doc on mind blowing & tragic case of Megan Bhari that’s presented as Factitious = Induced Illness (FII) = Munchausen’s by proxy
So hard to think that a parent would deliberately make their child sick but incredibly rarely they do😔

Builds on the amazing ‘Believe in magic’ podcast series (also by Ruth Mayer
superb @JamieJBartlett) with new info, developments & interviews in this incredibly story
Also worth listening to original podcast to hear how its great detective work transpired

Podcast also has some extra info & stories that don’t make it into TV documentary
I get the feeling there’s still more to discover about Megan’s tragic death, so, there might be further episodes/programs on all this to come ….

Conviction is a very powerful feeling. If I have enough of it, I can override debilitating Parkinson’s for some period. But I can’t really choose my convictions. My convictions choose me.

I am trying to infect the platform’s algorithm with a prion
Apologies for being late to this @ajlees I recall many of these neurological high coups from when this platform was a better place. Needless to say, this book is a total joy. Much ❤️ from Glasgow

Just back here briefly to share this which reflects the real values, strengths & greatness of America - that the world has been increasingly disturbed to see being buried under all its weaknesses & vices

I was asked by @braincomms to highlight their FND special collection which welcomes clinical and neuroscience research on every aspect of the condition.
A chance to reflect on how FND has moved from miscellaneous to mainstream

Let’s set the record straight. Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is not hysteria, not “all in your head”, and not a diagnosis of exclusion. This is how FND evolved - from centuries of misunderstanding to a recognised, brain-based condition. 🧵👇

People who do not live with Functional Neurological Disorder, including those claiming misdiagnosis, do not get to define it, police patients, or undermine care. That is external ideological control, not science or evidence-based medicine. #FND

The clinical approach to #catatonia in neurological conditions poses basic questions like...
🤔 Do I score this finding on the Bush-Francis?
🤔 Is a lorazepam challenge warranted?
So many questions are only beginning to be investigated.
Let's dive in!
