This what it is


A functional disorder is a medical condition that impairs the normal function of a bodily process, but where every part of the body looks completely normal under examination, dissection or even under a microscope. ... Definitions vary somewhat between fields of medicine.

Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a condition in which patients experience neurological symptoms such as weakness, movement disorders, sensory symptoms and blackouts. The brain of a patient with functional neurological symptom disorder is structurally normal, but functions incorrectly.

Physical symptoms of neurological problems may include the following:
  • Partial or complete paralysis.
  • Muscle weakness.
