Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Diagnosis and Treatment - SLUCare Neurology & Psychology

I’ll never forget being told about this in the mental hospital and actually crying with relief because there was a real explanation that felt accurate to what was happening to me.

[@DavisonVideo]

It's time for neurologists to stop sticking to old paradigms and investigate the non-epileptiform causes of motor seizures. It's an embarassment labelling them psychogenic.

[@nicmackowey510]

Yeah like it's not real or it's made up..

[@jambokalehooch752]

It also might just be a bridge way into a new appreciation for other things deemed “emotionally caused” or “psychogenic” in the sciences as well. This is just one case in a much larger genus of issues caused by the lack of respect for actual human experiences in American academics. Hopefully medicine is able to begin seriously including a patients hermeneutics and experiences in diagnosing a treatment strategy.

[@vsouzz]

Not all non-epileptic seizures as labeled as psychogenic and many individuals such as myself absolutely have seizures because of psychological reasons

[@malstria]

I had a neurologist run me through epilepsy testing and as soon as it was determined that my seizures were non-epileptic, he told me I was making them up, they were in my head and to get over it. Since it wasn't epilepsy, he wouldn't help me with any treatment and just told me to see a psychiatrist. He also accused me of not taking them seriously despite the fact I sought him out to help me figure out what was going on. He even stopped seeing me for my migraines. I still have the seizures and the migraines, and just live them them because it's so hard to find a neurologist that will actually listen. It still makes me mad and I hate the episodes.

[@RaraRemi_312]

😮😮😢😢 Really sorry to hear that. I feel uncomfortable at the idea of calling full body anxiety tremors /shaking non-epileptic seizures "psychotic" because that term sounds really stigmatising. Sorry to hear your neurologist's reaction - that kind is really appalling and unprofessional. I have epileptic seizures both grand mal and petit mal (or "moderate mal" because they're sometimes in between) and they're terrifying, and when i had my terrifying mental breakdown which resulted in my getting sectioned, I was shaking all over and my speech was shaky, a lot like when I have a grand mal seizure but without the limbs going rigid or mouth pulling to one side (i remain conscious when convulsing). And migraines are a nightmare. I hope you manage to find a more sympathetic neurologist and suitable treatment so that these non-epileptic seizures won't rule your life

[@chaoticdays]

The cure for non epileptic seizures is to shift from a sympathetic (fight or flight) to a parasympathetic state . This is best achieved through deep abdominal breathing with prolonged exhales making a deep humming sound in your throat as you exhale. Breathe in and out only through your nose, focusing on your breath and nothing else the whole time. You should feel the back of your throat area vibrating when you exhale making the humming sound. The back of the throat area is the hub of the parasympathetic nervous system and activating it with humming automatically activates the parasympathetic nervous system relaxing your mind and body. Practice this for 20 min in the morning, afternoon and night and your seizure frequency will reduce greatly. Also practice it the moment you feel a seizure coming on and most likely the seizure feeling will go away. Combine this with mindfulness training and learn to live in "day tight" compartments focusing only on the present moment specifically on the task at hand and doing what you enjoy.

[@hannahg39]

I agree! The parasympathic nervous system is incredibly powerful! I've been diagnosed with PNES seizures, epilepsy, bipolar 1, panic attacks, sleep paralysis and night terrors, CPTSD, DID, and ADHD. I've found breathwork, yoga, meditation, exercise, going for long meditative walks in nature, body scans, creative play, good nutrition, and taking supplements have helped me so much I've been able to come off of decades of pharmaceuticals! I hope you are doing well and take care of yourself please! Remember you have the power to heal completely, just as you are!

TY SO MUCH, I STARTED DOING THIS PARASYMPATHETIC STATE AND I GOT BETTER AFTER 5 MIN

[@suejorgensen46]

This makes sense to me as vibration would stimulate the Vagas Nerve Another thing , a somatic therapist or bodyworker would probably work with the motions made during the siezures I have three maybe four we've worked out My right leg kicking out My left arm like doing a triceps kick back and usually accompanied by a left Jenkins motion with my head like I'm trying to look over my shoulder All probably connected to trauma repetitive motions I also used to have tonic flexed stiff frozen and ones that I just dropped to the ground and couldn't move at all I would get an aura or knew that they were getting ready to happen I would try to get to a safe place I haven't had one of those in a year..but they were regular for years

​@@toeachitsown2050people with PNES have much higher mortality rates. It's psychogenic, but worth considering if there are ways we can destigmatize it and improve treatment outcomes. Australia opened a PNES clinic last year.

[@James_Renz]

The best way for me to describe my experience is this in the broad scope of things. Imagining hearing one of your parents die and you forcefully deny the emotions and the accounts of the events. Yet your subconscious mind is attacking what feels like your central nervous system. Like a leaky pipe under too much pressure. That's why people need to cry. Putting on a brave face especially when you are by yourself isn't necessarily the healthy approach. Took me along time to learn that my self ego only hurts thy self.

No as he said epilepsy is caused due to high firing neurons in brain that are either developed or already presend regardless they are an abnormality to the normal physiology whereas non epileptic seizures or psychogenic seizures as the name suggests have no high firing neurons or any other neurotransmitter based deformity whereas can be linked to any psychological issue related to some underlying trauma, repressed emotions etc. and he never said its making in the head its just the cause is different and even making something up in their head and having issue in carrying day to day life also constitutes as a medical concern

[@chanteivy3217]

So I was actually offered to go through cognitive behavioral therapy, but it sounded really stupid so I bailed on it. Yes, you are 100% right it does sound stupid because like you said: the patient is making it up in their head? Sadly, it’s just a bunch of emotions that there’s only so much that people with epilepsy or different type of disabilities can handle. I have these now and they said that’s it’s from me being, stressed, depressed, and my anxiety. But the problem is that I don’t know what or why I would be feeling like this. I mean I feel completely fine. So once I went to the therapist and we talked about it I was blown away by how she discussed with me on why and what it was causing me to feel like this when I felt fine. It’s like your emotions are hiding from you and you don’t even know it.

I got diagnosed with FNS (Functional neurological symptoms) after having a PNES episode in response to Psychological distress. I also have a extreme neological response pain. I passed out and vomited with period pain, got to the hospital and got told i had a neological problem! I said "no, it's pain", they were like "your symptoms are neological" and I was like "I am bleeding and in pain" 😂😂. The neurologist said my body was over reacting to stimuli, I have a software problem but my hardware is healthy.

[@fire8328]

I have no symptoms but when I try to eat something I feel like to vomit but not real vomitting just thinking of it and vomiting

[@gabeangel8104]

There is a type of eating disorder where you choke/gag or vomit (not purposeful vomiting like in bulimia but as a reflex triggered but eating certain food or food in general) when eating but also physical things that can cause nausea even without actual vomiting, when eating so you need to talk to a doctor and maybe get tests. If I can remember the name of the disorder I will come back and let you know so you can maybe look it up and see if it sounds like your symptoms. It’s really important that you only look online for help about what things it might be worth asking your doctor about rather than looking for a diagnosis online. I hope you’re able to find a solution to your problem

Please i need some advice. In 2017, i got my first seizure. In 2019,i got second one And just recently last week,i got s tbird one. I dont take any epilepsy medecines and i get it only when i have extremely long and heavy periods and its towards the end of the period. P.s last time,i have fever during my period and this time i had food poisoning. And sugar was high as well. Is it epilepsy?what should i do?should i go to a neurologist? I also have pcos

[@HairGlitter]

I have similar experiences. I had one a year ago. I had one last week. I have partial ones around my period. They are different feeling depending where its starting from. Mine is starting in the temporal lobe. Estrogen makes them worse. I was hospitalized bc they wouldn't stop. Keep records. Dates. And you need a eeg. They will want a mri too. Keppra is working for me. I am also trying keto diet. Hope this helps

[@iqofpicklejar4519]

I have had seizures from when i was 4, im 17 now and have had a total of about 10 seizures, ive had multiple mri's, cat scans, and blood tests but the doctors still havent pin pointed what it is i have. But its genetic beacuse my uncle has the same thing. He had it in his childhood and when he got around 17-18 it stoped, now hes early 40's and is expieriencing symptoms again. But worse than before, now he aslo has hallucinations and screams like a crazy peron. My point being now i know he has the exact condition i do, becaue my symptoms were exactly like his so far. The seizures stoped Im 17. Im most likely destined to end up like him, a crazy person with no family to take care of me

[@buyerbewaremichigan8161]

My friend has been seizure free for 2 years.! I am not a a doctor but I was attending college to become a psychologist. I believe that some people do need to see a psychiatrist but not every problem can be solved taking psychiatric drugs. I was raped by my sister for about 10 years when I was just a kid so this is what really makes me more qualified in mental healing!

This is a mental suppression problem and exposure therapy is the answer and the cure, not mental suppression drugs from some psychiatrist!

[@jeanward9984]

I was raped by my sister for 10 years as well so I understand what it’s like to push problems deep down inside until it causes more, major problems! I help girls testify against their abuser’s in court and it totally cures the PNES! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

[@abdulwahab7135]

they are seizures

[@Gicrus]

I don't question rather this is real, my friend's son has this, what I question is the idea that it's not neurological Extreme emotion itself, think anxiety or depression, or BPD or ADD/ADHD are neurological If they weren't it wouldn't make sense to treat them with medication So there's something in the brain causing these seizures to occur What this video showed me is that the doctors themselves don't seem to know what's going on

[@thespookycactus2091]

My seizures went away by medication and cbt

[@lizarrohillario7057]

Its a result if traums stuck in the body

In some cases I have people testify against their abuser and that’s the best healing method and it’s more powerful than people give it credit for. This cures PNES! I call it court room therapy!

[@DijahSabreena]

@@gabrielguzman6018 this summer something similar happened to me except I had way more symptoms on top of the dizziness, there was fatigued, my body was screaming that it was tired and exhausted, I was hot, and didn’t know how to fix it, my heart started racing and then my breathing was labored with a drilling headache. The breathing felt similar to a panic attack but the discomfort was something entirely different. Were you confused? Did the dizzy spill feel like vertigo too and made you sit down until it went away or something because I looked into the symptoms and they have similar ones close to heat stroke so maybe

That is not a psychogenic seizure. Cannobiod receptor 1 has interactions with nmda receptors that can lead to hypo function. Source, lots of articles on pubmed and the KZbinr “Ask a Psychiatrist,” and catatonia to me as a layperson kinda reminds me of an absence seizure.

People with dissociative seizures don't chose to have seizures. Dissociative Seizures happen unconsciously because the mind is in a dissociative state there is a disconnection between the mind and body and the body goes into a fight or flight response that's actived by the sympathic nervous system.
