Dissociation during Mirror Gazing Test in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures and functional movement disorders.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with FMD reported more sensations falling in the detachment facet of dissociation, while patients with PNES in the compartmentalization one. We hypothesized that both facets of dissociation might be important pathophysiological processes for PNES and FMD and that different instruments (self-report clinical scales vs experimental tasks) might be able to detect different facets in different populations because they assess, respectively, "trait" and "state" dissociation.
