Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a complex condition that affects how the brain communicates with the body. Unlike other neurological disorders, FND does not involve structural damage to the brain, nervous system, or muscles. Instead, it results from disrupted signal interpretation, leading to abnormal movements, sensations, and other symptoms.
​
Understanding Functional Neurological Disorder
​
FND can present in various ways, often mimicking other neurological conditions. Symptoms may include:
-
Disorders of Movement: Weakness, paralysis, tremors, or involuntary movements.
-
Sensory Symptoms: Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation.
-
Cognitive Challenges: Difficulties with thinking clearly or maintaining focus.
-
Fatigue and Pain: Persistent exhaustion and discomfort.
-
Speech and Dissociation: Impaired speech patterns and episodes of detachment.
These symptoms can significantly affect day-to-day life, making it challenging to perform everyday tasks or maintain independence.
​
