One of the biggest misconceptions about diseases and disorders is that patients can control their symptoms. FND is an example of a disorder that does not allow for control.

Many diseases and disorders don’t have cures. It can be difficult for patients and doctors to diagnose and treat symptoms.

FND is one of those conditions that leaves many confused and looking for answers. Find out more about FND, the holiday, and how you can help.

FND (or Functional Neurological Disorder) is a condition that causes communication problems between the brain, body and brain. This can happen even if both brain and body function normally. FND can mimic other conditions, as different patients may experience symptoms that range from chronic pain to immobility.

Many patients who come to a doctor’s offices are diagnosed with diseases that affect the body, rather than the mind. FND does not have symptoms that are psychological or organic, but they still cause pain. This is why FND is less well-known than other diseases like Parkinson’s Disease. Physical therapy is currently the best option for FND treatment.
