What is FND?

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a condition that can 
present with lots of different neurological symptoms and 
occurs due to a problem with how the brain and body send 
and receive signals, resulting inabnormal neurological function.

FND is the second most common reason to see a neurologist.
Anyone can be affected by FND, but is more common in 
women than men. It can occur at any age, but is uncommon in 
children under 10 years.
