Psychological inflexibility and somatization in nonepileptic attack disorder.

CONCLUSIONS: Higher levels of CF and EA appear to be related to lower levels of mindfulness. Lower levels of mindfulness predicted greater levels of somatization, and somatization predicted NEA frequency. Interventions that tackle avoidance and increase mindfulness, such as, acceptance and commitment therapy, may be beneficial for individuals with NEAD. Future directions for research are suggested as the results indicate more research is needed. PMID: 32563053 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
