(FND – A Condition Where the Brain and Body Miscommunicate)

Samoan

O le Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) e tupu pe a faigatā i le faiʻai ona lafo ma talia faailo mai le tino.
E mafai ona mafua ai ni faailoga moni e pei o le gatete o le tino, vaivai, paʻu pe a le mafai ona taofiofi, pe fa’afuase’i ona pa’u i lalo.
E mafai foʻi ona faigatā le savali, tautala, pe vaʻai manino.

O nei faailoga e moni lava — e le o mafaufauga, e le o fa’aletonu le mafaufau,
ae ona o le auala e fesoʻotaʻi ai le faiʻai ma le tino ua lē masani.

E mafai ona fesoasoani le togafitiga ma le tausiga filemu.
Pe a iai le malamalama, onosa’i, ma le lagolago lelei, e toʻatele e mafai ona toe malosi ma ola fiafia.

Afai e iai se tagata e aafia i nei faailoga, aua le fefe.
Ia tumau le filemu, fesoasoani ma le agalelei, ma fa’amautinoa e maua se fesoasoani mai le fomaʻi po’o le tagata soifua maloloina e malamalama i le FND.

English Version

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) happens when the brain has trouble sending and receiving signals properly.
This can cause real physical symptoms such as shaking, weakness, fainting, or seizures.
Some people may have trouble walking, speaking, or seeing clearly.

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

With calm care, understanding, and the right support, many people get better and live full, happy lives.

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