Jocelyn Bystrom

August 01st, 2024

Author Jocelyn Bystrom battles Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and tells her remarkable seven-year-journey in FiNDing Hope: The Mind-Body Connection and the Importance of Being Seen and Heard (Stone Tiger Books $13.51). This rare, often undiagnosed condition caused Bystrom daily seizures, cognitive decline, severe headaches, and incapacity to work or care for herself. With 26% of American adults suffering from diagnosable mental health disorders, millions might unknowingly struggle with FND, which experts suggest may be more prevalent than epilepsy. Her memoir chronicles her descent into disability, her quest for effective medical treatment, and her eventual emergence into hope and faith. 9798989250103
