Individuals with mild ID/BIF and PNES don't differ in clinical management. Demographic and clinical data, as well as semiology, were comparable to those of individuals with normal cognitive function. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) appears to be an effective treatment approach for individuals with and without mild ID/BIF. Further studies are needed to validate and ascertain their possible applicability in individuals with moderate/severe ID.
