📚 Announcing Our New FND Research & Resource Libraries

At Not Defined By FND, we believe knowledge is power—and that access to the right information can make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), their loved ones, and the professionals who care for them.

That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce two brand-new tools:

🎓 FND Research Library

🌱 FND Community Resource Library

These searchable, growing collections bring together reliable, relevant information to help you better understand FND, find support, explore treatments, and stay informed about the latest research.

Both libraries are designed to be easy to navigate and customizable. You can search by keyword, sort by category (such as topic or year) to find what you need quickly and explore related content with ease.

🔬 Explore the FND Research Library

Whether you're a medical professional, advocate, or person living with FND, our Research Library offers:

• Peer-reviewed journal articles and academic reviews

• Topics including neuroimaging, diagnosis, treatment strategies, patient experience, healthcare delivery and more

• Easy-to-use filters to sort by topic (e.g., clinical focus, pathophysiology, public health), search by keyword, and browse by year

• Option to submit an article

🛠️ These Are Living, Growing Libraries

Please keep in mind: These tools are brand new and still evolving. We’re actively adding new resources, research, and features. If you don’t see something now, it may appear soon.

💡 Bookmark both libraries so you can easily return and view the latest additions. 

🔁 Check back regularly—we're committed to keeping them current and relevant.

🤝 Why These Libraries Matter

FND is often misunderstood. Many people spend years searching for answers, facing stigma, and feeling unsupported. These libraries aim to change that by:

• Bridging the gap between medical research and patient understanding

• Empowering individuals, families, and care teams with credible knowledge

• Fostering connection, advocacy, and awareness in the FND community

🌱 Built for the Community, Grown by the Community

These libraries are made for you—and built with you. Whether you're newly diagnosed, a caregiver, a healthcare provider, or an advocate, your input helps them grow.

💬 Have a recommendation? Found a valuable article? Seen a great video or support group? We welcome submissions and collaborations to make these resources as helpful and inclusive as possible.

Thank you for being part of the Not Defined By FND community. We're stronger, smarter, and more supported when we learn together.
