Newly diagnosed

How individuals react to the final diagnosis varies greatly from person to person.  For some, knowing there is a clear cause of their symptoms comes as a total relief; for others, it can come like a thunderbolt completely out of the blue.

Whatever reaction you have is completely normal and there is a whole range of advice, support and information available.  Whatever your circumstances are, you need not feel alone, we are here to help.

We encourage people newly diagnosed to initially contact MND Connect. This ensures we put you in touch with the right person for your region and enables us to assess your support needs.
