Functional Neurological Disorders
Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) are conditions where patients experience neurological symptoms that cannot be explained by traditional medical or neurological conditions. These symptoms can include weakness, tremors, seizures, or difficulties with movement and coordination. FND is thought to arise from a disruption in how the brain processes signals, rather than from structural damage.
Diagnosis of FND often involves ruling out other neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis or epilepsy. Treatment typically includes a combination of physical therapy, psychological support, and education about the disorder. Understanding FND can help patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
