🧠 Functional Neurological Disorder Awareness Day 🧠
Today we raise awareness of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) — a condition that affects how the brain sends and receives signals throughout the body.
People living with FND may experience symptoms such as:
✔️ Weakness or paralysis
✔️ Tremors or abnormal movements
✔️ Non-epileptic seizures
✔️ Difficulty walking or balance problems
✔️ Sensory or speech changes
Although brain scans may appear normal, the symptoms are very real and can significantly impact daily life. Increased awareness and understanding are important to help people receive the right diagnosis and support.
If you or someone you know is experiencing ongoing neurological symptoms, speaking with a GP is an important first step in assessment and care.
