"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."
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.
