FND treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy

Unknown reasons cause functional neurologic disorder (FND). Still, they are accompanied by symptoms typically related to brain or nerve damage, injuries, or diseases. So, treating symptoms of functional neurologic disorder separately is the only practical therapy patients can use to manage it effectively. Medical practitioners might prescribe many medications to treat each symptom of functional neurologic disorder, but there is another way of treatment. Doctors discovered that patients with FND might use some individual components of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to manage most of their functional neurologic disorder symptoms. For example, they might focus on discovering and successfully detecting particular triggers of the FND symptoms and use methods of CBT to avoid them. Neurologists and psychiatrists make an appointment with the patient and discuss their most frequent symptoms, and next, teach them about all necessary parts of cognitive behavioral therapy they might use for their benefit. It’s important to note that different patients might benefit more from varying components of cognitive behavioral therapy. As a result, physicians might teach different patients about varying components of CBT.
