    So the main sentence is
    I guess as causation, so this fits pretty well with the new neutral name "functional disorder" - I think - but then there is no reason to say that "conversion disorder" "remains" under a new name, instead there is no such thing as conversion disorder anymore.

    Again great dishonest when they complete the sentence with
    Reason being?

    It would also have been interesting to elaborate why some so far unexplained symptoms had been suggested to be non-neurological and some neurological. But I guess this would be asked too much.
