Functional neurological disorder is not a diagnosis. Although docs claim to acknowledge a biologic cause, FND is a euphemism for the accusation of psychosomatic illness. Bartonellosis is a common cause of many of these diagnoses. I've seen countless cases with good outcomes.




How many Australians have been diagnosed with FND?



@usabilityliz @ZacharyGrinDPT @BinitaKane This does not excuse ignorance, or the widespread ongoing misrepresentation of FND. FND is being used as a pawn to the detriment of a community that has harmed by such beliefs. @BinitaKane should source her information from FND patient support charities rather than speculate.



Our FNDS president is not kidding… We have about 650 spaces total so if you leave registration for FND society meeting Verona june 8-11 too late it will have sold out. FNDS 2026 Baltimore. Next European FNDS 2028. fndsociety.org/biennial-meeti…


Just a reminder that early birds rate for @FNDSociety conference closes on Friday . With 500 tickets already gone this will sell out so get your tickets now!





Is there a link between Functional Neurological Disorder and mental health conditions? #FND #FNDTwitter
