Thank you so much for this simple, factual and well communicated video. I am so sick of FND ‘explanations’ that insist all FND is hidden trauma, which it is not. Or videos that use old descriptive statements, and overtly make the point “it’s not organic” as if that explains what it IS. What patients want is actual scientific data, cutting edge research and honest discussion, that includes the admission their is still much to be discovered about FND. It seems to be a diagnosis everyone wants to make excuses for or brush under the carpet. This video actually looks head on about what is going on in the brain….thank you!

I was just diagnosed. I was wondering if FND is hereditary

[@francoisrobillard3164]

ever consider that it can be an effect of stroke that differ from the usual paralissed arm ,elocution issues and gait? after terror attack i became overwelmed by sensory input by light :sun and uv from neon light. diagnosed fnd it took me a long time to figure out how to deal with it. that trauma base of fnd didnt make any sense to me and i turned down any psy therapy.

This does not explain what causes the sudden onset .. why do the signals suddenly get mixed up . There must be a common cause
