Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) happens when the brain has trouble sending and receiving messages to and from the body.
It can cause real physical symptoms like shaking, weakness, or fainting.
Some people might have trouble walking, talking, or seeing clearly.

These symptoms are real — not imagined or spiritual punishment.
They happen because the brain and the body are sending mixed messages.

With calm care, understanding, and support, people can improve and live full, happy lives.

If someone near you shows these signs, stay calm and gentle.
Help them feel safe, and encourage them to talk with a doctor or health worker who understands FND.
