FND Awareness Day

WHAT IS FND?
Functional Neurological Disorder is a diagnosis where there is a problem with how the brain/nervous system is 'functioning'. Whilst basic wiring is intact, there is a problem with how the signals/messages are being sent and received to allow the body to function normally.
