  • The diagnosis of psychogenic dystonia can be exceedingly difficult. Secondary dystonias and psychogenic dystonias, in particular, may have similar characteristics.
  • In most cases only an experienced movement disorder expert can identify the subtle aspects of an individual’s history and physical examination that support a psychogenic cause for the symptoms.
