what is Functional Neurological Disorder ?

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a medical condition that affects the functioning of the nervous system. It is a condition in which patients experience physical symptoms that cannot be explained by a neurological disease or structural abnormality.

CAUSES

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a medical condition that affects the functioning of the nervous system. It is a condition in which patients experience physical symptoms that cannot be explained by a neurological disease or structural abnormality.

FND is also known as Conversion Disorder, and it is considered a type of somatic symptom disorder, which means that it is characterized by physical symptoms that are not related to any underlying medical condition.

The symptoms of FND can vary widely and may affect different parts of the body, including the muscles, limbs, and sensory organs. Some of the common symptoms of FND include weakness, tremors, seizures, sensory disturbances, and difficulty walking or moving.

SYMPTOMS

Numbness, pins and needles, or the sensation that a limb isn't a part of your body can be symptoms of FND. FND symptoms can include memory loss or focus issues.

It may result in a number of symptoms, such as:

difficulties walking.
On one side, there is weight.
dropping objects
a sense that a limb is not truly a part of you.

TREATMENT
Your specific signs and symptoms for functional neurologic illness will determine your course of treatment. A multidisciplinary team approach with a neurologist, psychiatrist or other mental health specialist, speech, physical, and occupational therapists, among others, may be appropriate for some patients.
