WHAT WE TREAT

Functional Neurological Disorders (FND)

What is FND?

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a condition where there is a problem with the functioning of the nervous system and how the brain and body send and receive signals. FND can result in a variety of physical, sensory, and cognitive symptoms that mimic other neurological conditions, such as stroke or epilepsy, but without the typical neurological damage.

How is FND Caused?

The exact cause of FND is not fully understood, but it is believed to be multifactorial, involving a complex interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. Some potential contributing factors include:

Stress
Trauma
Decreased sensation
Abnormalities in brain function
Weakness or paralysis
Dystonia
Numbness
Problems with memory
Non-epileptic seizures
Speech difficulties

How is FND Treated?

Treatment for FND is multidisciplinary and tailored to the individual’s needs. It may include:

Physiotherapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Occupational Therapy
Medication
Understanding the condition and its management
