Abstract
Psychogenic movement disorders (PMDs) represent a challenging dilemma for the treating neurologist. The terminology to classify this disorder is confusing and making the diagnosis is difficult. Once the diagnosis has been established, treatment options are limited, and the patient generally does not accept the diagnosis.
