Dr Alexander Lehn is a neurologist with special interests in functional neurological disorders, movement disorders and cognitive neurology. He is also a Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland.
Functional Neurological Disorders account for the second most common presentation to neurological clinics. They also may overlap and integrate with many other common disorders such as chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue. Their management and understanding exemplify the crucial importance of treating a person as a whole, not just a sum of their parts.
