Abstract

This paper explores the dearth of research on Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FNSD) and proposes that it is necessary to come up with regionally relevant scholarly research on FNSD. This will help create models and coalesce it with conceptual yardsticks closer to our socio-cultural context. This can also help to create regionally rooted scholarship to carry out the much-needed therapeutic interventions.
