Understanding Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

Welcome to this episode of It's Me, It's Me, It's F&D. In this special edition, we honor Functional Neurological Disorder Day, celebrated annually on March 25th. The episode provides an insightful overview of FND, a condition where the brain's ability to send and receive signals is disrupted. Unlike common neurological disorders, FND is akin to a software malfunction, impacting individuals in various life-altering ways.

Learn about the challenges faced by those living with FND, the complexity of its diagnosis, and the array of symptoms, including fatigue, seizures, and migraines. Despite the daily struggles, there is hope, as discussed through available therapies and support from charitable organizations like FND Action, FND Hope, and the MyFND app.

Join us in spreading awareness and understanding of FND, a disorder that demands attention, empathy, and comprehensive care. As we navigate through the intricacies of this condition, remember that every little step towards awareness counts.
