Functional Neurological Disorder and Attention, FND, Conversion Disorder
Functional neurologic disorder (FND) refers to a group of motor, sensory, or cognitive symptoms caused by an abnormality in how the brain functions. FND is distinct from other neurologic conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, and multiple sclerosis in that there is no overt structural damage in the brain.

Functional Neurological Disorder can be viewed as the default setting in the brain changing resulting in abnormal movement
If asked what the hardest part of living with FND was I would have immediately said the symptoms. But actually there are many of them.
Functional Neurological Disorder is a surprisingly common condition that is frequently mistreated, misdiagnosed, or simply missed by neurologists.

Functional Neurological Disorder is a relatively new term used to describe neurological symptoms such as limp weakness, tremor, numbness and blackouts.
Alison discusses her FND diagnosis journey, which included experiences with unhealthy relationships, uncontrolled muscle movements, and urinary dysfunction.
There have been many articles highlighting differences and similarities between complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and functional neurological disorders (FND) but until now the discussions have often been adversarial with an erroneous focus on malingering and a view of FND as ‘all in the mind’. However, understanding of the nature, frequency and treatment of FND has changed dramatically in the last 10–15 years. FND is no longer assumed to be only the result of ‘conversion’ of psychological conflict but is understood as a complex interplay between physiological stimulus, expectation, learning and attention mediated through a Bayesian framework, with biopsychosocial predisposing, triggering and perpetuating inputs. Building on this new ‘whole brain’ perspective of FND, we reframe the debate about the ‘psychological versus physical’ basis of CRPS. We recognise how CRPS research may inform mechanistic understanding of FND and conversely, how advances in FND, especially treatment, have implications for improving understanding and management of CRPS.
It causes the nervous system to send mixed signals to the brain.
Functional neurological symptom disorder, or conversion disorder, is a mental disorder involving sensory/motor symptoms like limb paralysis.
