The Rock & Roll Shrink Ep. 106 - Functional Neurologic Disorders

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a medical condition in which there is a problem with the functioning of the nervous system and how the brain and body sends and/or receives signals, rather than a structural disease process such as multiple sclerosis or stroke. FND can encompass a wide variety of neurological symptoms, such as limb weakness or seizures.

FND is a condition at the interface between the specialties of neurology and psychiatry. It is not as well-known in modern U.S. culture as many other medical conditions, and is still being evaluated and explained today.

Tonight, we will discuss:

The History of Functional Neurologic Disorders.
Functional Neurologic Disorders today.
Controversies and Misconceptions.
Resources for Support.
We'll start off the evening with some topic-relevant Classic Rock played by Dr. Mathis, followed by Classic Rock trivia in "The Rock & Roll Shrink Recalls," followed by our topic discussion.

Please follow our bi-weekly, Wednesday evening shows, at 11 pm EST/EDT. We will have a new topic for you in two weeks!
