The article argues against diagnosing long Covid patients with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), stating that FND is based on speculative and unproven assumptions. It emphasizes that long Covid's complex symptoms are more likely linked to immunological, neurological, hormonal, and vascular differences, and that misdiagnosing it as FND could hinder proper treatment and understanding of the condition.
