It's All in Their Heads
Book •
In 'It's All in Their Heads', Suzanne O'Sullivan investigates functional neurological disorders and other psychosomatic conditions, arguing that these illnesses are real and deserve clinical attention despite lacking clear biomarkers.
She uses case studies from her neurology practice to illustrate how psychological distress can manifest physically, the stigma patients face, and the pitfalls of dismissive attitudes.
The book challenges the false mind–body divide and advocates for better diagnostic listening and therapeutic approaches.
O'Sullivan reflects on controversies and public reactions to psychosomatic diagnoses, aiming to improve patient care and understanding.
The work blends clinical insight with accessible storytelling to shift perceptions about medically unexplained symptoms.
