Health Happenings - Melanie Grace explains Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
Catherine talks to Melanie Grace about Functional neurological disorder (FND). FND describes a problem with how the brain receives and sends information to the rest of the body.

The exact cause of FND is unknown and misunderstood.
In this conversation we speak to Melanie Grace who explains this disability in more detail and explains that this could now be New Zealand's leading cause of disability.
