In this episode of The Dr. Alex Show, Dr. Alex Nelson returns to shed light on Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition at the crossroads of neurology and psychology. Drawing from his recent presentations and hands-on experience, Dr. Alex explores the predisposing factors, triggering events, and common misconceptions surrounding FND — especially in the wake of COVID-19. He emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving neurologists, psychologists, and physical therapists, to provide effective care. Join us as we dive into this often-misunderstood disorder and the hope for better recognition and treatment.
