The prognosis of functional diseases of the favorable, But there is a gradual transition of the organic pathology.
The diagnosis for functional diseases of the digestive system
Diagnosis is based on clinical data and additional laboratory and instrumental examination. The main difficulty in the diagnosis of functional diseases is the need to eliminate all possible organic pathology; Only then can we say with certainty about the functional nature of the disease.
It should be noted symptoms of anxiety, in which the functional disturbances are unlikely to occur and require a serious investigation to identify the causes. Symptoms include anxiety:
