Maureen Henry of Rockland County suffered from uncontrollable cognitive issues, extreme fatigue, and involuntary tics for years without a diagnosis. Her symptoms began after the traumatic loss of her parents on the same day, and she experienced hardships like quitting her job as a newborn photographer. After consulting seven doctors, she was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder by Dr. Christian Amlang. FND is characterized by a breakdown in brain communication, causing disconnection between brain and body. Treatment does not involve medication and requires a multidisciplinary approach.
Henry's medical mystery was finally solved by Dr. Christian Amlang, a neurologist and movement disorder specialist, who diagnosed her with functional neurological disorder after she saw seven other doctors.
Functional neurological disorder, or FND, affects brain communication, leading to a disconnect between various brain parts and the brain and the body, according to Dr. Amlang.
