Well done Dr Caoimhe McLoughlin and Jon Stone for creating this short film with Peter, Katerina and Louise. FND does not have to be a mystery, it is a real neurological condition with clear rule in criteria for diagnoses.๐๐งก #FND PSI Division of Neuropsychology Neurological Alliance of Ireland Neuroscience Ireland

We hope that many neurologists (in particular epileptologists & paediatric neurologists), epilepsy nurses & other healthcare professionals are attending this training. Research has shown that over 20% of those with functional seizures also have epilepsy.๐๐งก Epilepsy Ireland #FND

It is very important to highlight this #MensHealthWeek that although FND is more common in women than men that many men are diagnosed with #FND. We need to continue to breakdown the stigma around FND so all those living with FND get support they deserve. ๐๐งก PSI Division of Neuropsychology #FNDIreland

Our #FND awareness ambassador, Jane Hackett began development on a exciting work called 'Rest' about FND with mezzo soprano, Sharon Carty and composer Tom Lane.
