One of the many wonderful aspects about the 6th International FND Society (@FNDSociety) is connecting with new & old friends from around the globe - an absolute delight to meet Professor Masahiro Sonoo from Japan [characterized the hip abductor sign].

“I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder and discharged from neurology with just the name of a website”. Every single day, for the past 4,482 days, at least 1 person reaches out because of being abandoned. #Neurology you must do better. The #nhs must fund more. #FND

Thank you @APainPrincess for sharing my blog post on what you don’t see in life loving with #FND. It’s very much appreciated! 🫶

If you're living with FND, you already know how powerful - and changeable - the brain can be.. The good news is, with the right tools and support, real progress is possible.
We share lots of tips that help retrain your brain - from small daily techniques to mindset shifts.

FND is real. It’s challenging. But there is hope.
If you’re in the middle of it right now, please know that things can change. Progress might be slow, and it might not look how you expected—but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

One policy I’ve adopted on X, which helps a lot, is any time someone uses “Functional Neurological Disorder” as a joke or insult, I block immediately. No conversation, no second chances. There’s a minimum standard of civility 👍

Excited to share our first case that shows noninvasive brain stimulation can improve communication and enhance brain function in the aphasic variant of #Alzheimers
Special thanks to the patient and the patient's family who participated and the amazing team of co-authors.
Huge pleasure to share our most recent work led by my brilliant colleague friend @TouroutoglouA that shows transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve language informativeness in primary progressive aphasia 💫

Predictive processing is a much more helpful model for understanding #FND than the one sided, simplistic & purely psychological models of the past -
