The Power of Shared Experience: Bridging the Belief Gap

Welcome to the heart of FND CONNECT. This is a space dedicated to the real voices, real experiences, and profound resilience of those living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

The physical symptoms of FND are often overshadowed by the hardest symptom of all: doubt. Many in our community face painful accusations from loved ones and even professionals who believe their symptoms are “all in their head” or intentional. We know this denial creates a devastating “belief gap.”

Sharing your personal story is the single most powerful way to break down this isolation and transform misunderstanding into empathy. Whether you are a patient, a parent, a carer, or a professional, your journey is an essential piece of the global FND narrative.

Our Aim:

Our goal is to build a rich, diverse library of stories that affirm the reality of FND. By reading and sharing, we empower individuals to feel seen, understood, and less alone on their FND journey..
