International #FND (#Functional #Neurological #Disorder) #Awareness Day is observed every year on April 13.

The goal of the Month is to promote awareness, #support affected individuals, and advance #research for the #prevention, #treatment, and recovery of FND.

Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a medical condition in which there is a problem with the #functioning of the nervous system and how the brain and body sends and/or receives signals, rather than a structural disease process such as multiple sclerosis or stroke.

Functional neurological disorder (conversion disorder, FND) is one of the commonest diagnoses made in neurology clinics. It is far from a #benign disorder; it causes #disability and #impaired quality of life in the long term similar to that seen in people with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease.

FND doesn't affect the structure of the brain. It is neither progressive nor degenerative.
