Neuropsychology for NEAD

NEADtoraiseawareness profile image

Good morning everyone,

I’ve recently been diagnosed with Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder (UK) and been advised by the neurologist the treatment for this is counselling and CBT. My question to everyone is:-

Should NEAD be treated by a neuropsychologist who has experience and knowledge of NEAD? Would this provide the patient with a more understanding safe environment to have therapy, and would this decrease recovery time? As opposed to having therapy with a counsellor who may never have heard of this disorder before and also not know what to do if the patient has a seizure during therapy?

I am just wanting to know peoples thoughts 😌

Thank you for taking the time to share. Sending healing wishes and compassion to everyone with FND and to those who are the hero/heroines looking after them 🙏🏻
