Beliefs and attitudes are difficult to change, but research into effective methods may lead to new and fruitful ways to improve outcomes. It is clear that specific training to improve the care of PNES patients is warranted and must begin with the true desire to heal and understand how to develop mutual trust between patients and their HCPs. Patients with PNES must be guided to treatment, rather than being told they do not need a neurologist or, even worse, insinuating that they “don’t have a real illness.” When such a positive shift begins to happen, clinicians will be less worried about dismissing these challenging patients and more about engaging them in treatments proven to work for this disorder. The assumption that nothing is wrong with the brain in PNES is beginning to be proven incorrect through functional imaging studies: PNES is a true brain disorder. Changing HCP attitudes and approach to PNES patients will likely be accomplished only through education, training, practice, and assessment; it will also likely entail convincing neurologists and other HCPs that there are brain mechanisms responsible for affective processing and development of functional neurological symptoms whether or not there is a convincing abnormality on brain magnetic resonance imaging. The role of HCP perceptions in PNES outcomes should be investigated and the therapeutic nature of clinician–patient relationship targeted for potential treatments. While clinicians are not wholly responsible for poor outcomes in PNES, any contribution from negative HCP interactions should be eliminated.
