Functional Neurological Disorder is a condition that arises from a problem with how the brain and nervous system sends and receives signals. #FND ➡️ This is not fake. ➡️ This is not caused by anxiety. ➡️ This is not self controlled. ➡️ This is a brain network disorder.

Such an amazing and supportive experience. I would highly recommend an apprenticeship route to people. Being able to apply what you learn as you go has been invaluable 💚 #NAW2024 #apprentice #occupationaltherapy @theRCOT
