About this title

Synopsis

When the person you love has functional neurological disorder

A diagnosis of functional neurological disorder often leaves the people closest to the patient with the least guidance. If you have watched a seizure, a sudden weakness, or a tremor and felt the helplessness of not knowing what to do or where to turn, you are facing a role that few resources prepare you for. FND is real, it is one of the most common conditions in neurology, and the partner standing beside the patient matters more than almost anyone tells you.

What this guide helps you do

When Your Partner Has FND is a practical, partner focused guide written in plain language. It explains what FND is and what it is not, then shows you how to respond during symptoms, how to tell an ordinary episode from a genuine emergency, and how to be heard in clinics and emergency departments where the condition is sometimes misunderstood. It offers grounded ways to support recovery without taking it over, and to protect both the relationship and your own wellbeing over the long haul.

A partner focused approach with a clinical foundation

Rather than a personal account, this book sets out a structured method built on current clinical evidence and on composite cases that reflect patterns seen across many couples. You get tools designed to be used, including a functional seizure response plan, an emergency decision guide, and clear scripts for medical appointments. It also addresses the subjects partners rarely find covered, among them intimacy and physical closeness, setting boundaries without guilt, explaining FND to children and skeptical relatives, carer burnout, and holding on to realistic hope.

Who this book is for

This book is for readers who are the husband, wife, or partner of someone living with FND and want to help well. It also speaks to family members and close friends supporting a loved one through functional seizures, functional weakness, or functional movement symptoms, and to caregivers who feel worn down and want a clearer, steadier way forward. Clinicians who wish to understand the partner's point of view will find it useful as well.

A steadier way to stand beside them

The course of functional neurological disorder varies from person to person, and no book can promise a particular outcome. What this guide can offer is understanding, structure, and practical tools that turn fear into steadiness. If you want a clear, practical guide to supporting a partner with FND, with honest information and usable steps, this book provides a structured place to begin.
