Functional neurologic disorder (FND), alternatively known as conversion disorder, presents a unique diagnostic challenge due to its complex interplay of psychological, neurobiological, and social factors. This complexity is particularly evident in patients who experience significant psychological stressors, which may trigger or exacerbate symptoms. The following case report describes a 36-year-old woman who developed FND following the death of her father. This case highlights the diagnostic complexities of FND, particularly in patients with a prior psychiatric diagnosis. It underscores the importance of addressing the psychological factors underlying physical symptoms in such presentations.
