Community rules

These rules keep FND Connect friendly, practical and safe. Members accept them during signup and before using the community.

Share experience, not instructions

You can talk about what helped or harmed you. Do not diagnose another member, tell someone to ignore clinicians, or give medication instructions.

Protect privacy

Use a display name. Do not post someone else’s identifiable health details, screenshots, addresses, phone numbers or private messages.

Use urgent services for urgent problems

The community cannot assess emergencies. New stroke-like symptoms, a first seizure, chest pain, breathing difficulty, self-harm risk or immediate danger need urgent services.

Be kind and specific

Disagree respectfully, avoid personal attacks, and make support practical. FND affects people differently.

Moderation

FND Connect moderators may hide posts, lock comments, warn users, suspend accounts, approve Page requests and record moderation decisions.
