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

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

With calm care, understanding, and support, many people can get better and live full lives.

If someone you know has these symptoms, stay calm and kind.
Help them feel safe and encourage them to see a doctor or health worker who understands FND.
