Praise for FiNDing Hope

INDIE TODAY AWARD 2023 SEMI-FINALIST

“The voices of people with FND have long been silent. Jocelyn Bystrom’s account of experiencing seizures and movement disorder as part of the condition will resonate with other who experienced diagnostic delay and disbelief from others. Her story also gives hope to those wondering if improvement from FND is possible and reminds us that there are many different paths to change.”
