The first episode of the ETUDE podcast series ‘Not so Invisible’ focuses on the initial questions you might have when you first hear of Functional Disorders. Brodie, Mais, and Nick are the first three early stage researchers that will take you along their journey of first diving into the world of functional disorders. How come that, despite the fact that functional disorders are common disorders, have tremendous economic impact, and severely influence the lives of patients and their families, they are still invisible to society, health care systems and medical research? Why are there so many words involved when speaking about functional disorders and what do they mean? What is next in the world of functional disorders? And what will ETUDE contribute?
