Functional overlay: Functional overlay merely adds the component of an emotional response to a physical illness. It is based on preconscious or unconscious mechanisms and can include some level of depression, anxiety, conversion or affective responses. It does not delegitimize the diagnosis, but speaks to the need to address the emotional response in addition to the physical illness in order to treat the whole person
