Rejected petition MAKE FND A RECOGNISED DISORDER WITH ALL GPS. FUND RESEARCH AND TREATMENT OPTIONS
Functional Neurological Disorder is affecting thousands of new people by the day. This disorder is barely recognised or taken seriously by many medical professionals. There are no treatment options. With more people beginning to be affected by it, research into cures and treatment is now a necessity
More details
Fnd sufferers are constantly treated appallingly by many health professionals. Many anecdotes recall the fact that many doctors see the symptoms as a cause of mere anxiety. This is not the case. There are only 2 registered charities in the UK and they need more funding to support patients as clearly the NHS is incompetent in its efforts to do so. Many FND sufferers are lost, more money must be contributed into research for a cure and treatment. There are no specific treatment options.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Laws and policies don't usually list specific conditions as "recognised disorders", so we're not sure what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
