functional neurological disorders

Do you or someone you know experience troubling symptoms like weakness, movement difficulties, or even seizure-like episodes without a known medical cause? These signs could point to Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).  Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) (also known as conversion disorder, or possibly somatic symptom disorder) is a condition where individuals experience neurological symptoms such as weakness, sensory symptoms, movement disorders, or seizure-like episodes, that are associated with and/or intimately connected to psychiatric distress or dysfunction.

These symptoms can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life, and are often accompanied by anxiety and/or mood problems.  They are also usually perplexing to patients, their family members, and even medical doctors. 

Specialized therapy for FND focuses on understanding the complex mind-body connection and utilizes cognitive-behavioral techniques to address and manage these symptoms.  Tailored Brain Health is one of the few specialty clinics positioned to support this type of condition.  Give us a call.  It's time to reclaim your life.
