Understanding Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a complex medical condition that affects how the nervous system functions, impacting the way the brain and body communicate. Unlike structural diseases such as multiple sclerosis or stroke, FND is characterized by changes in how brain networks operate rather than physical changes in brain structure.
What is FND?
FND encompasses a spectrum of symptoms that can affect movement, sensation, and cognitive function. It includes conditions like:
- Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder
- Functional Movement Disorder
- Conversion Disorder
- Neuropsychiatric Disorder
- Psychogenic Seizures/Movement Disorder
- Dissociative Seizures/Motor Disorder
- Non-Epileptic Seizures
- Dissociative Neurological Symptoms Disorder
These conditions result in genuine physical symptoms that cannot be explained by structural brain changes. At HML Functional Care, we recognize that FND is not merely “all in your head,” contrary to outdated perceptions.
