Research suggests that certain life events such as stressful experiences may trigger the development of an functional neurological disorder.

What is functional neurological disorder?

Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a type of neurological condition characterized by symptoms that involve the nervous system, such as movement disorders and changes in sensation, but with no obvious anatomical cause. It is also known as conversion disorder or functional movement disorder, and is believed to result from a combination of psychological and somatic factors. Symptoms can be similar to those seen in true neurological disorders yet can still lack an identifiable structural pathology.
