Functional Neurological Disorder Explained | What Did the Patient Say? | Episode 67

Struggling with unexplained neurological symptoms like seizures, movement disorders, paralysis, or speech issues? In this episode of What Did the Patient Say?, Dr. Lauren Brindisi from Carolina Functional Neurology Center explains Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), how it differs from traditional neurological or psychological diagnoses, and how a functional neurology approach can help identify and treat the root causes. Episode 67 dives into real patient experiences, exploring the complexity of FND symptoms, including cognitive challenges, episodic paralysis, aphasia, migraines, and movement disorders. Learn how functional neurologists assess nervous system function, investigate underlying triggers such as infections or head injuries, and provide personalized strategies to restore proper brain communication and motor function. Discover how functional neurology can make sense of symptoms often misdiagnosed as anxiety or psychogenic disorders, offering new hope for patients in Charlotte, Raleigh, Tampa/Sarasota, and New England.
