“Pseudo Seizures” AND Epilepsy – Yes, You CAN Have BOTH!

Some know it as non-epileptic seizures (NES), psychogenic non-epileptic seizures  (PNES), or pseudo seizures.

And then there’s epilepsy. Which is what?

What seizures all have in common is that they are usually sudden, short, and cause a change in the person’s awareness of where they are, what they are doing, what they are thinking or what they are feeling.

Some people have more than one type of seizure.

For example, around 15 in every 100 people with non-epileptic seizures (NES) also have epilepsy.
