  • Summary

  • There’s been a huge increase of Functional neurological disorder or FND in teenage girls since the pandemic and the rise of TikTok.

    FND occurs when there’s miscommunication between the body and brain and can often look a lot like tourettes, where people suffer from impulsive tics.

    Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by Dr Amanda Maxwell, a clinical psychologist specialising in tics, to unpack why we are seeing a spike in the number of cases of FND.
