Abstract: Persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a functional neurological disorder characterized by troublesome feelings of dizziness and might be precipitated by vestibular events, postural changes, psychopathologies, and/or a person's perceptual experiences. The diagnosis is confirmed by assessing a patient's history. A variety of psychiatric symptoms are associated with PPPD; anxiety and depression are the most common. Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy can be clinically helpful in reducing psychiatric symptoms and dizziness. Early intervention improves prognosis.
