You are not alone
FND is best managed by a multidisciplinary team, but access to specialists can vary.
Key professionals to consider:
Neurologist (for diagnosis and rule out other conditions)
Physiotherapist (for movement retraining)
Occupational Therapist (OT) (for daily function support)
Speech & Language Therapist (SLT) (for speech/swallowing issues)
Psychologist/Therapist (for emotional support, CBT, trauma therapy if needed)
Not all doctors are familiar with FND—if one dismisses you, seek a second opinion if possible.

Understanding Functional Neurological Disorder - NHS Salford Royal
We highly recommend reading the NHS Salford Royal booklet on Functional Neurological Disorder. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to understand, manage, and cope with this challenging condition.
It's a fantastic starting point for anyone navigating the complexities of FND and serves as a beacon of hope and information in a field that often feels overwhelming.
