Functional Neurological Disorder needs more support.
FND is one of the most misunderstood conditions.
It can present as issues with:
Movement
Sensation
Speech
Cognition
Seizures
The biggest misconception with FND is when someone is experiencing a functional symptom.
Functional here means an issue with the function of the brain-body communication, not that someone is making it up, nor that it's "in their head".
FND has often been explained as a "software" issue (e.g., functioning of the nervous system) rather than a "hardware" issue (e.g., damage to structures such as the brain).
Let's reduce the stigma of FND, and find ways to support.
If you can spare a minute to support people with FND, and help it to be recognised the same as other neurological conditions, please feel free to sign the petition in the comments.

Last week our client practised a train journey during an occupational therapy session. Community-based interventions like these allow practise of functional abilities in real-world environments and develop practical strategies that support long-term independence.
Achieving outcomes and goals such as these, also require a high level of rapport and collaboration.
It's essential our clients feel comfortable and relaxed with the people in their team, so that they can always share what's on their mind. This means that the team can support them to find what works for them best in any given situation, and encourage them to achieve the things they want to.

What are your favourite things to do for fun in your community?
Let us know in the comments!
For some it's bike riding.
For others it's joining an art class, watching a football match, going to their local park, or enjoying their favourite café with a friend.
After a stoke, brain injury, or neurological event, Peartree Community is here to help people get back to the activities they love.
Our wonderful team of therapists, rehab assistants, and carers, are here to support individuals through SMART goal planning and client-centred, client-directed, rehabilitation programmes.
