Their clinical presentation is common but often nonspecific, leading to frequent misdiagnoses and diagnostic delays.

Motor phenotypes did not differ significantly between adolescent- and adult-onset FMDs, with the exception of parkinsonism, which was observed only in the latter. Compared with adult-onset FMDs, adolescent-onset FMDs were associated with a longer disease duration, a higher number of medical consultations before diagnosis, and a higher frequency of functional seizures and infections, but with lower rates of insomnia, fatigue, and antipsychotic use. In multivariable analysis, adolescent-onset FMDs remained independently associated with a greater number of medical consultations (adjusted OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.02\u20131.13), the presence of functional seizures (adjusted OR 2.06; 95% CI 1.09\u20133.8), and with lower occurrence of insomnia (adjusted OR 0.49; 95% CI 0.27\u20130.92) and fatigue (adjusted OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.30\u20130.86).
