== Debate == There is much debate surrounding the FND diagnosis. Some doctors continue to believe that all FND patients have unresolved traumatic events (often of a sexual nature) which are being expressed in a physical way. However, some doctors do not believe this to be the case. Wessely and White state that all somatic illnesses, including Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome "still fall under the title of ‘unexplained’ since no consensual scientific explanation has been advanced for any of them that meets with universal acceptance. Unexplained means what it says on the tin, and is not a code for psychiatric, still less for ‘all in the mind’."<ref name="Wessely2004" /> They go on to argue that "A somatoform disorder can only be so classified in the absence of an adequate physical explanation (World Health Organization, 1992). Furthermore, a somatoform pain disorder can only ‘... occur in association with emotional conflict or psychosocial problems that are sufficient to allow the conclusion that they are the main causal influences’ (World Health Organization, 1992). How can the clinician be sure that the psychosocial problem actually caused the illness?"<ref name="Wessely2004" />
