“…We have not found more research on medical students evaluating their religious beliefs and the intention to choose psychiatry. Among many possible explanations, this association could exist because psychiatry has historical frictions with religion (Anderson, 1974;Baetz, 2013;Cotti, 2014;Harris, 2014;Loschen, 1974). Mental illnesses have been historically conceived and addressed in a way that excludes other, non-medical explanatory models (Loschen, 1974;Pruyser, 1966;Smith, 1961).…”

The worldwide scarcity of psychiatrists makes the identification of the factors associated with the intention to choose this specialty an important issue. This study aims to evaluate the association between religious affiliation and the intention to choose psychiatry as a specialty among medical students from 11 Latin American countries. We conducted a cross-sectional, multi-country study that included first- and fifth-year students of 63 medical schools in 11 Latin-American countries between 2011 and 2012. The main outcome and measures were the intention to pursue psychiatry as a specialty over other specialties (yes/no) and religious affiliation (without: atheist/agnostic; with: any religion). A total of 8308 participants were included; 53.6% were women, and the average age was 20.4 (SD = 2.9) years. About 36% were fifth-year students, and 11.8% were not affiliated with any religion. Only 2.6% had the intention to choose psychiatry; the highest proportion of students with the intention to choose psychiatry was among students in Chile (8.1%) and the lowest among students in Mexico (1.1%). After adjusting for demographic, family, academic as well as personal and professional projection variable, we found that those who had no religious affiliation were more likely to report the intention to become a psychiatrist [OR: 2.92 (95%CI: 2.14-4.00)]. There is a strong positive association between not having a religious affiliation and the intention to become a psychiatrist. The possible factors that influence this phenomenon must be evaluated in greater depth, ideally through longitudinal research.

“…If accused of witchcraft, (using the devil’s influence willingly for their own personal gain), people could be tortured and executed [6] . When reviewing illustrations of demonic possessions and exorcism, Charcot and Maudsley likened the depictions to their patients suffering from functional neurological disorders [7] . Janet had suggested that patients suffering from functional symptoms may have equally been praised as saints just as well as demoniacs, given their distortions in sensation and perception [8] .…”

A historical review of functional neurological disorder and comparison to contemporary models

Over the centuries, various etiologies have been proposed to explain functional neurological disorders (FND), including functional seizures. These have included models relying on supernatural influences upon the body, emphasis on consequences of malfunctioning reproductive organs, the bodily expression of painful emotions involving traumatic memories, or cognitive distortions through attention and predictive biases. Many theorists, especially since the 19th century, have had overlapping themes that continue to be relevant in modern clinical use. Treatments developed in accordance with different conceptual mechanisms. Given the heterogeneity of the disorder and the variable response to individual treatments obtained through history, physicians must consider symptom expression of an FND as an overestimation. An appreciation of multiple theories allows flexible development of unique treatment plans for individual patients.
