    This is a great introduction to FND. I found the information very helpful to understand more than just a small, basic outline I would like for it to been more in-depth, but definitely helped and understanding the diagnosis of FND gives more information than what you receive when you are at a doctor that gives you the diagnosis hope to find more courses for this disorder

    No certificate available for this course time wastage,..............................................

    The content was interesting but very theoretical, more life examples could have explained the idea better. The course was more read than explained and the impression it gave was that the Dr. wasn't too sure of the information she was giving and that's when the second Dr. had to interfere and complete what her colleague was saying.
    The "take home" notes summarized the content and are quite helpful.
