Functional Neurological Disorder

Thursday 25th March is FND Awareness Day across Australia and the UK, seeking to raise awareness for Functional Neurological Disorder.

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) encompasses neurological disorders that affect the motor, movement, cognitive and sensory functions of the body. They are commonly diagnosed in neurology clinics and present with symptoms such as seizures, paralysis, tremors, limb weakness and walking difficulties. With appropriate care and treatment, recovery levels are possible. However, due to ongoing misperceptions and lack of services, many people are left to fend for themselves, experiencing worsening and ongoing disabling symptoms.
