Functional symptom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A functional symptom refers to a medical symptom without an apparent cause (etiology) even after the completion of extensive diagnostic assessments. By default, a functional symptom often is judged to have causes that are neither physical nor physiological, but rather psychological or psychiatric.[1]
