For those of you who don’t know me, I am a mum of a young lady who has lived with #FND for at least 20 years, possibly all 32 yrs of her life. She has multiple comorbidities which makes treatment nigh on impossible. Let me tell you why I take the trolls to task on here: 🧵1/14

📢📢 New Research Alert 📢📢 Delighted to share that our abstract, “Distinct Emotional Profiles in Functional Seizures versus Functional Movement Disorder: Evidence from Digital Phenotyping,” has been selected for an oral presentation at the FNDS Baltimore conference, as part of "Research Highlights: Best of FND 2026 Posters." This work is the result of a valuable collaboration with Steven Painter at Neurolog (neuro-log.com) #Emotions may offer a powerful doorway into understanding Functional Neurological Disorder — not as a simple “cause,” but as part of the brain-body processes through which symptoms are generated, maintained, and experienced. The emerging science of emotion invites us to think beyond older mind-body divisions and towards concepts such as interoception, predictive processing, allostasis, and emotional granularity (academic.oup.com/brain/article/…). These frameworks may help us better understand the lived experience and biological complexity of #FND. Interestingly, it aligns closely with principles of #Hypnosis. Through #DigitalPhenotyping, we examine whether functional seizures and functional movement disorder have distinct emotional profiles, with the aim of deepening mechanistic understanding and supporting more personalised care. Grateful to the wider FND community for helping bring this work together. #FND #Neurology #Hypnosis #NHS #MindBodyMedicine #DigitalHealth #DigitalPhenotyping @FNDHope @FNDAction @FndIreland @ConnectFnd @DavidLewisPerez @jungjoha @popkirov @jonstoneneuro @AlanCarson15 @LFeldmanBarrett @BSCAH1 @RoySocMed @WilliamMcGeown @EdinPublishing @LSCICB @LancashireRKE @BBCLancashire @leponline @lancstelegraph @Uni_Lancashire @LancsHospitals @GrahamLiver @FNDSociety @NIRSlearn @KH118118 @SelmaAybek @TomPlender @fndfriends @FNDDimensions @FndRecovery
