The terminology for functional disorders has been fraught with confusion and controversy, with many different terms used to describe them. Sometimes functional disorders are equated or mistakenly confused with diagnoses like category of "somatoform disorders", "medically unexplained symptoms", "psychogenic symptoms" or "conversion disorders". Many historical terms are now no longer thought of as accurate, and are considered by many to be stigmatising.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Barron E, Rotge JY | title = Talking about "psychogenic nonepileptic seizure" is wrong and stigmatizing | journal = Seizure | volume = 71 | pages = 6–7 | date = October 2019 | pmid = 31154287 | doi = 10.1016/j.seizure.2019.05.021 | s2cid = 163168382 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
Psychiatric illnesses have historically also been considered as functional disorders in some classification systems, as they often fulfil the criteria above. Whether a given medical condition is termed a functional disorder depends in part on the state of knowledge. Some diseases, such as [[epilepsy]], were historically categorized as functional disorders but are no longer classified that way.{{cn}}
