Functional neurologic disorder (FND) refers to a neurological condition caused by network changes in the brain. FND symptoms are not intentional and can often involve any part of a person’s body. It can also happen that symptoms appear suddenly, intensify with attention, and decrease with distraction. FND can manifest in a number of symptoms, for example, functional seizures, motor problems, cognitive problems, pain, dizziness, speech problems, vision or hearing problems and fatigue. These symptoms interfere directly on a person’s functioning and ADL’s.  To date the exact cause of FND is unknown.

NB: The attainment of CEUs or CPD points does not license any professional to practice outside of their scope or competency. CPD training is intended to broaden the knowledge of professionals and does not constitute professional training. The responsibility to practice within their relevant scope remains with the professional, regardless of what CPD training they attend.
