Abstract in brief

  • Functional dizziness, formerly called somatoform or psychogenic dizziness, refers to dizziness that is related to psychological factors rather than structural problems.
  • About 10% of patients with vestibular symptoms in specialized centers have functional dizziness, and many also experience psychiatric issues like anxiety or depression, especially if they have other vestibular conditions like migraines.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis combined with treatments such as education, therapy, rehabilitation, and medication can significantly reduce symptoms and prevent long-term chronic dizziness.
