If you take functional seizures seriously and provide treatment then you can reduce emergency costs - probably by more money than you need to actually give the treatment. Thanks Laura Strom and Meagan Watson for telling me about your program in Colorado

Being disabled does not make someone “a victim”, Nigel Farage. Having state support to go to school does not make someone “a victim” either. These kind of remarks are in many ways why I wrote Who Wants Normal? Disabled young people deserve more than this vile narrative.

FND Action respond to failures in #FND understanding. We must stand together to challenge harmful narratives, promote scientific integrity, and demand better for those living with Functional Neurological Disorder. #fndawareness fndaction.org.uk/fnd-action-res…

It’s important to challenge the claims Scamvougeras and co have published here about #FND. Promoting outdated ideology over science does immense harm to patients. fndaction.org.uk/fnd-action-res…

'an integrated approach to FND – 1 that considers the biological, neurological, and psychological aspects... FND is a complex, multifactorial condition that requires comprehensive, patient-centred care.' What a wonderful world it would be if all NHS Trusts adopted this. NHSTTIPFREEGLOS

Tom Plender Recent advancements in neuroimaging and neurophysiology have revealed significant neurobiological underpinnings associated with FND. Reverting back to last century’s limited understanding would be harmful to the patient community.

I was asked by the neuropsychoanalysis to write an article about FND in response to one by Mark Solms discussing how predictive processing could map on to psychoanalytic ideas. doi.org/10.1080/152941… 1/

“People with FND themselves now ask their health professionals, What has Freud and psychoanalysis ever done for us?” Professor Jon Stone discuss some insights about FND psychoanalysis and several harms: 1. Promotion of a dualistic model 2. An overly simplistic monocausal view

Wise words from Jon Stone - the current messy, multi factorial, multi perspective account of #FND is frustrating for those who like a simple model which fits in boxes!

Today, the UK government is being taken to court over arms sales to Israel. We know that arming Israel is morally indefensible. GLAN | Global Legal Action Network and Al-Haq الحق have my full support in proving it is legally indefensible too. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

It’s 2025 and still seeing people are confidentially posting Functional Neurological Disorder isn’t real. Must be exhausting clinging to outdated myths whilst neuroscience keeps moving forward. #FND

Dr. Jasmine Richards 🧡🤍🩷🧙‍♀️🥄🦓🧟‍♀️🧛‍♀️🇪🇺 Hope Catherine Millar Plz don't undermine FND. It IS a proper diagnosis, a serious brain disorder that has been historically misunderstood & neglected, NOT psychosomatic illness. These narratives are dangerous & stigmatising. Help educate rather than express denial & disrespect fndaction.org.uk/informthedocto…

What does the future hold if we allow the government to restrict our right to protest? The answer: nothing good. Together we can demand the new anti-protest laws are scrapped. Sign the Amnesty UK petition today: amnesty.org.uk/actions/scrap-…
