My daughter died from pnes in September 2022 at age 28 years old. We took her to therapists & neurologists since she was 11 years old. Nothing helped or worked. No anti seizure meds, no individual & family therapy, nothing helped her. We miss her so much. I pray 🙏 their is real progress to help these people who are suffering from pnes. We waited 6 months for an autopsy report & talked with the coroner. Circumstances were that our daughter was and wanted to live with my parents at the time of her death, which we had investigated. I was told by the coroner that they were not able to prove my parents had any involvement. That our daughter was wearing upper & lower mouth guards that she choked on during a seizure attack, her lungs filled with fluid and then had a heart attack. My parents didn't want to hear her scream during her seizures and it's our thinking they.made her wear them.even though every dentist & doctor recommended she Never wear ant mouth guards for grinding teeth or biting her tongue it would be a checking Hazzard. My parents never checked on her, never aided her, or called 911 for help. I'll just add that when she was in my care, we always ran to her aid during a seizure to make sure she was free from any entanglements of blankets sheets etc, to make sure she was turned on her side and safe until her seizure stopped. Stay safe & I pray for all surrfering this condition. Find ways to decompress, destress & surround yourself with loving compassionate people.

[@ASMRCountingSheep]

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am grateful to Dr. Danoun for shedding so much light on this condition and bringing both compassion and science to it, to help us better diagnose and understand it. There are so many suffering from this and I hope they find the right information. Your daughter was so young and I appreciate that you are still trying to understand PNES. Love and light your way.

[@beccasbythebay]

@@ASMRCountingSheep thank you 😊 🙏

[@J_B_4]

@@ThisIsForDrew okay seriously? This person just expressed their sadness about the death of their daughter and is pointing out that nothing helped her and you’re here saying she didn’t die of PNES and your evidence to back that up is your ex? Seriously!? If you have an unresolved issue with your ex then fine, good for you but don’t sit there and say stuff like that to a grieving parent for christ sake. Anyone can die of a seizure, PNES or Epileptic it doesn’t matter because the risk is still there. I have PNES and when I seize I stop breathing, that alone could have been the cause of this poor girls death not to mention the fact that she could have seized and fell down some stairs. Don’t be so damn ignorant!

[@J_B_4]

I’m sorry for your loss

[@ThisIsForDrew]

Not the thread to say perhaps but seriously pnes is misdiagnosed all the time they told me I had that and colitis for years now I need brain surgery some times these doctors need to be held accountable for telling everyone CBT therapy and stress are all that’s wrong with them because they too lazy too dig deeper or care !

[@TheTarahTalks]

My neurologist said it’s PNES, gave me Keppra, and I havent heard from her since. She’s the most celebrated Neurologist in our area with billboards of her face everywhere. I was so upset thinking no one could help me. Glad to hear there IS hope.

[@BillieAnnaBanana16]

Don't STOP or forget to take your Keppra. This has saved my life. I 100% have PNES. I have studied why they couldn't find why I was having seizures since 2017 with amnesia afterwards everyone. My husband had to stop working to care for me. All medical professionals thought my husband and I were wrong about it. I had to give up my children to deal with this. Because I kept going back to 2015 afterwards every seizure. I looked crazy. But Knowbody knew how to check for this properly. In 2022 my prayers were answered. All I ever asked for was meds for these. Keppra 500 twice daily has saved me and stopped them. Next month 2 years. You will get your life back. Don't give up.❤

[@sashaludwig7057]

My give me keppra when I first was diagnosed with cavernous malformation and PNES , ptsd . The keppra made my seizure worse I was having seizures back to back and got admitted to the hospital a few times and i finally got a doctor to listen to me and change medication to briviact it works way better I do still have seizures but not as much

[@Viktor_Rafael]

I am a therapist working with a client who has PNES. It is surprising to me how little awareness of PNES among mental health professionals. Thank you for providing this free education and spreading awareness of this condition.

You are welcome.. And thank you for helping our community

[@brandenmoore955]

It's not just mental health professionals. I have been suffering from PNES for about 3 years now and only recently did i find out about PNES and asked my doctor about it and they never heard of it. (I was then put into care of a professional and they diagnosed me)

[@darrenwray285]

I had been seeing neurologists for 40 years and was treated with epilepsy medications without *any* evidence of having epilepsy. They just acted as though my violent seizures were due to epilepsy, so instead of referring me to another specialist they would increase the dose of the medication until I was on massive doses. But the seizures continued so they just changed medications. This went on for years and years, going round in circles, without any improvement, suffering horrendous injuries, losing jobs, my drivers licence, friends etc along the way. And still they refused to send me anywhere else. Eventually I realized that I wasn't a patient. I was a customer. And my "role" was to increase profit for private enterprises. So I was forced to solve this problem myself by examining the evidence. After years and years of my own analysis and research I discovered that I had cervical spine instability - which was causing muscles in my neck to become tense and pinch my vagus nerve - which stimulated my sympathetic nervous system - causing more tension, more pinching and so on in a vicious cycle. Even thinking about having a seizure could cause a seizure because it created tension in my neck. When I try to educate doctors now they can't confirm my theory and they can't deny it - because it's 100% correct and they don't have to tools to prove or disprove it. I have tried CBT (through my own initiative) and it didn't produce any improvement whatsoever.

Hi Darren, I have been doing Yang style tai chi chuan twio or three times every single day followed by 10 minuutes standing meditation facing North, but when you are in Australia it has to be facing South. It must become a part of your circadian rhythm. Also,, I am visiting an acupuncturist who has also given me herbal pills and who is doing tui na massage Please do not take any other medication, becase your autonomic nervous system will be able to heal your mind and body all by itself if you do it this way. It takes some time to learn the long form and to cultivate your energy, but enjoy the journey and go with the chi flow.😇 Sitting meditation in your own house filled with the energy of your loved ones is very good. 🙏🙏🙏

@elisabeth mulder Thank you Elisabeth 🙏

[@SuperWilbur77]

I’m so happy for you ! I’m researching too ! Had a C5/C6 fusion 20 years ago and studying that angle of the neck / atlas etc. Definitely looking into the keto diet as I understand an alkaline brain is extremely healthy and encouraged. I don’t understand why the neurologist I have had never discussed these issues with me. He sits at a computer for a minute , turns around and says to pick a script up at the pharmacy ! That’s why I’m glad I found Dr Danoun on KZbin. He is a very nice person and he explains about this disorder. I’m 70 ! ( a young 70 lol) ! I thought it was a child disorder. I was sure wrong. Got it after the 3 Covid vaccines. So I’m trying to get to the bottom of it. I will get some kind of cognitive therapy I guess but I do know I do not not want this ! And mine could certainly be caused by neck / artery issues. Anyway , best of luck to you.

Totally! I had a seizure when I was 23. My worst mistake was not going to therapy back then.

[@kathrynjenkins9183]

My son has Autism and depression and was said to have had one PNES recently and was taken to hospital where he was treated for a’panic attack’. My husband and my daughter were present with me when it happened and it was frightening and serious. However, the next day my son couldn’t walk and has since had blackouts and absences so he should have been given a scan at A&E, not turned away with it classed as behavioural. So be warned about being palmed off by over run A&E departments because the aftermath is just as worrying. Be warned, as soon as you mention Autism or Depression, you will get shelved with the behaviour diagnosis rather than anything neurological! They maybe overwhelmed with treating drunks and pimples but don’t take no for an answer. We are now faced with a much more worrying future!

[@modusbee9092]

How are things going now? Do you have anything more you could share? I am in a similar situation with my son. ER doctors always pass it off as anxiety. He's been referred to physio and chronic pain clinic for his leg pain and after testing, they say there is no explanation for why he can't even walk some days.

[@kathrynjenkins9183]

I am so sorry for your anxiety and worry over your son, I know how you feel. My son had an MRI scan, and CT scan, resulting letter from the Neurologist was, nothing found! Good news for the positive thinkers in society but now looking at mental health so, with the state of the U.K., we are knackered!

[@Ouchimoo]

OMFG. I am now convinced that my neurologist specifically tried to misdiagnose me with PNES so she could get rid of me. She literally said "there's nothing I can do for you. Go see a physiologist. Good luck." Mind you this is after I was successfully on medication for TWO YEARS. And the only reason why this misdiagnosis happened was because the medication I was on became unavailable so I got switched to a different formulation and I had side effects to it, then the medication after that I had really bad side effects to it. I know I'm beating a dead horse but the more I learn about PNES, medications and epilepsy in general, the more angry I become realizing how much this doctor I had was terrible.

[@ThisIsForDrew]

How have you been lately ?

[@robinfischer1259]

I love how encouraging you are. One of my patients tried working with a neurologist for PNES and he had nothing to offer. The patient and I found the books you recommend here on our own, although by that time the patient wasn't willing to engage in the protocol. What really helped was working on increasing the patient's window of tolerance for the strong emotion associated with the trauma and increasing their capacity to express those emotions. Also reducing immediate environmental stressors as much as possible helped and the seizures calmed way down.

[@devoragoldman7150]

Dr. Danoun, thank you so much for providing such outstanding, up to date, and compassionate education on PNES. It is so valuable to have physician advocates such as yourself providing sound, evidenced-based information for all to learn from on this topic.

[@MountainAirOrganicBeds]

I started thinking last night, I should practice sleeping like it’s PNES then maybe when I get to the neurogist I can tell him if my practice of not worrying about it and just try to not let my brain react is working or not. I will practice every night. Your information is valuable to many of us lay persons. It does scare me to think about my past, I have just swept it under the rug and act like nothing happened. I feel like I had 2 versions of my life, what was in the past and what I became.

[@duncanramsay9262]

When I told my neurologist, I do my own research by watching your videos,a huge smile appeared on his face 😄, and he said "oh yes he makes excellent short form videos " so you are a very loving, and loved man. I have gran mal seizures ,and pnes I have ptsd ,depression, as well as well as very high anxiety because I overthink things. I had a teacher pull me aside one and tell me I think to much. We I think I had a panic attack for the first time the other day. My doctor just ordered a ecg and ekg

[@TamaraLaschinsky]

Thank you SO MUCH!!!! I have primary generalized epilepsy but after trying at least a dozen different AED's I am still not fully controlled, believing I had refractory Epilepsy. I no longer drive and my life has been greatly affected. My teen daughter recently started having what looked like Focal seizures, based on my own Epilepsy history I was confident she also had Epilepsy. Diagnosis varied between Migraines to PNES to all sorts of things. We recorded events, video taped them, track triggers. She has been in Epilepsy Monitoring Unit twice and all we caught were PNES seizures but never did catch her unaware events (unresponsive 15 - 30 seconds, eyes open.) It's been a battle and we are starting Psychiatric treatment and therapy as well as doing CBT. One of the most important things I have seen in videos like this and other is VALIDATION! It is a real condition, the symptoms are real and a person is not faking it nor can they just make it go away. It takes work and training. Thank you, thank you, thank you - for this great series and shedding light on this condition. You are right, it is not pseudo because there is nothing fake about it. Finding the right name is important. Disorder sounds like a label. It is emotional and sensory. Sensory dis-regulation seizures, when everything gets overloaded and someone is unable to handle/process anymore. Each episode is traumatic, people need to realize it. It's scary and the brain forms a connection based on the experience. Meaning the next time you feel a certain way the brain automatically predicts what will happen next (catastrophic thinking). It is so important to re-wire the brain and form new experiences. By researching her condition I have learned a lot and believe I also have PNES based on some of my episodes which did not fit the typical epileptic pattern. I am a huge internalizer of feelings, as is she, and I will learn the same techniques she will so I can manage my own emotions and change my brain patterns. Thank you Dr Danoun for a great series and insight! :)

[@LizetteLizette]

I’ve had this for 6 years now, and my neurologist insists that my epilepsy medicine works even though I don’t have epilepsy. But my seizures doesn’t stop, I still get it 4-6 times a year. Year after year. I’ve also gone to trauma therapy (EMDR) for 2 years, and also 5 years of other types of therapy previously. I’ve had problems with DDD for 15 years now and I think it’s all connected to each other. All caused by childhood trauma, and then even more triggered by a specific event that really traumatized me as a grown up and gave my PNES on top of DDD. I don’t know what to do anymore, I feel like I’ve tried everything and dedicated so so so many years to solve this. But I’m giving up..

[@AEGelnhausen1120]

I’m so sorry. I will pray for you to find something that works… I still haven’t found my relief. It’s getting in the way of me being a mom and my job as well. I’ve done tons of therapy but the seizures still come. Maybe one day we’ll find what works.

There is an illness called complex migraine. It was mentioned in another video in this channel. Among some patients with this condition (hemiplegic and/or brainstem migraine) there are some that develop a "locked in syndrome" which is basically a short term vegetative state of ~5 to 30 minutes duration. Patients may well receive 0 points for movement and speech on the Glasgow Coma Scale, only eye movement is partially possible. It is very very easily misdiagnosed as PNES but treatment of choice is ironically with an anti-epileptic like Lamotrigine or a calcium antagonist like Flunarizine.

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Correct.. Yes mentioned that in the video on things that are not seizures

[@BionicGinger]

@@DrOmarDanoun is locked in syndrome from complex migraines being misdiagnosed as PNES more/less/equally as common as someone having complex migraines *and* PNES?

I have used EFT (emotional freedom technique). I have used this therapy on all my CPTSD stuff. It works directly on the nervous systems (especially the autonomic nervous system) and the vagus nerve. It also works on the meridian system to restore the disruption caused by events, trauma, and emotional responses. I would highly recommend it! 👌

[@courtwright227]

EFT therapy? What is it?

[@andreamoore4595]

@courtwright227 emotional freedom technique, which is very good. But I would recommend even higher than that IFS (internal family systems) which us evidence based therapyy. My PNES have healed very quickly through doing IFS. It's been amazing in all areas of my life.

[@jeanward9984]

PNES is from pushing major problems deep down inside and then it manifest’s itself physically kinda like people who die from grief! You have to be willing to deal in order to heal!

[@SherleenThibodeaux]

Dr. Danouon, thank you for this information. Some of this information describes what my daughter is going through. She is 25 and all of a sudden began to have "episodes" the whole-body shakes/convulses. All of this began February 7 we have been to the emergency room twice only to be sent home on narcotics (which we do not want). At the second ER visit she was sent the Physc nurse to evaluate her, she said her condition was not psychological. Her primary Dr. believed it was and wanted to have her committed. She was seeing a counselor and was scheduled to see a psychiatrist; she followed through with the appointment and was evaluated based on primary Dr. request. The psychiatrist took her off the narcotics and placed here on Seroquel and told her again this was not psychological. We have changed primary Dr's and the new primary said we as well need to see a neurologist. (Which I had already scheduled an appointment with). My daughter has had MRI and EEG completed all have come back normal. Yesterday we seen the neurologist for results of EEG, she said all is good and she is not diagnosing her with Epilepsy and sent us home with no further information other than she would refer us if we would like a second opinion. She has had tons of blood work and urine tests done all coming back normal. What is my next step? As long as she is on the medication, she is fine but if she forgets to take it she will go into an "episode". These "episodes" can last all day if needed. All the Dr's (except neurologist) have seen the "episode" firsthand, and they can tell me nothing. My daughter is getting extremely frustrated with not getting any answers. I am willing to travel to get the answers needed. Can you advise or suggest a facility new me? I am in Mississippi. Thank you so much.

And dopamine is one of th3 main modulator of ach.

[@psycherevival2105]

I’m pretty sure that this what I experienced today. It started with a racing heart and shortness of breath that lead to my entire body ceasing up and I was stuck with my insides burning for who knows how long. I had called an ambulance and my body started to cease and convulse in the ambulance. It felt a lot like a sleep paralysis episode but more scary and physically painful. I could not talk and my arms were moving in strange ways voluntarily. The frustrating thing is that the Dr’s at emergency didn’t know about PNES and didn’t see me having my episode. I wasn’t admitted when I arrived at the hospital, and instead the paramedics kept me on a stretcher in some hallway until I eventually came out of it. The only thing that came in abnormal on my tests was low potassium.

I have PNES and unknown seizures. I was given Topiramate and since a couple weeks after starting it,I've had way less seizures.

I'm 26 now, I can't be near flashing lights and if I'm not drinking or detoxing from alcohol I have minimal seizures. I'm so grateful for doctors that explain complex things in their own time. It is very valuable information and it's very validating.

Stress from work makes it worse at times…

[@goddessvibes2345]

I have focal seizures. I lose consciousness, my memory and I just freeze. Not sure which side that's from. Lately, I have been having aura like seizures that can go on for hours. Surprisingly, even though I have Epilepsy, I have been told that I could be having Epileptic seizures several times a day or it could be dissociative seizures. How did you know that you were having several focal seizures throughout the day? Did you have tests done to make sure it was Epilepsy?

My daughter has been diagnosed with AMPS and FND with PNES immediately following COVID infection. She has been working with a very knowledgeable Psychologist with experience treating these conditions (I am also a psychologist by profession), and CBT, ACT, stress management has not been helpful at all. Her episodes are happening more and more often - over 50 episodes daily. I have been looking for alternative treatments given that her case does not appear to be due to an underlying psychological cause. EEG, EKG, Echo, CT brain have all been normal. How do we treat PNES when it’s caused by a virus?

Forgive me for asking but what do her seizures look like? When you say 50 episodes are you counting each seizure? My daughter will have what I call sets. A set with anywhere from 1 to 10 2 minute seizures with sleep like pauses in between.

It is now widely accepted that Functional Seizures (the correct term) or Dissociative Seizures are NOT caused by trauma. They may be triggered by it, but it is NOT the root cause. It would also be great if you could update the terminology you use - the words Psychogenic or Pseudo seizures are outdated and should not be used.

[@marcaribe5084]

Yes, the word “pseudo seizures” have always made me feel bad. It’s not a right term. Non-epileptic seizure is just fine. I get it, but the “pseudo” word is horrible.

[@SuperWilbur77]

Hi Dr Omar. I’ve been researching Atlas / neck injuries. Can whiplash , car accidents, traumas cause seizures ? And PNES (life events , anxiety PTSD, etc ..actually mean a person is NOT an epileptic? That meds are not needed ? Seeing a neurologist and psychiatrist are a bit pricey. What should I do ? Cognitive therapy would NEVER work for me. EVER. I have. severe anxiety disorder. No going back. I can not go back to healthy coping. So I may not have epilepsy? The neurologist I go to …he’s too busy and his med assistant calls in wrong doses of medications. I’m glad I’m knowledgeable enough to catch it. Causes more anxiety ! Help

A bacteria infection that infection that attacks your nerves inside your body your muscles causes the nerves that are damaged to not send the right message to your brain for different reflects that happen to your body. Just like when your skin raises goose bumps you don’t do it on purpose it’s a reaction . So when your body reacts to a stimulus your nerves which are damaged send the wrong message to your brain which causes a seizure. But if you get a seizure because of flashing lights I really don’t think that is caused by stress. There are many kinds of seizure and many causes.

Do you think psychedelics could aid in mental depression and seizures when microdosed?

[@inoshishi8]

What about individuals that have sudden or rapidly progressive tremors that when after eating, no matter how small the portions or how healthy the food, eventually tremor so violently that violent jerking happens along with stiffness occurs to lesd to sudden drops on the foor, as a seizure occurs? What if this person is in and out of awareness with a healthy brain thats just underwent MRIs, not having any neurological cause for the seizures including epilepsy? Why does food, movement or activity, and the night time impact these seizures, especially with no known neurological causes of the violent tremors? *There's at least an individual that struggled with chronic binge drinking, sober for 1.5 months and has gone a month sober before relapse in Oct, and another month sober in Dec.

I'm so sick of seizures. They are in the fence about if i have pnes or epilepsy. No positive eeg. But when i was prescribed Vyvanse from my psychiatrist for adhd i ended up in the hospital on a breathing tube. Neurologists said not to take stimulants because it increases excitability in the brain. I have thought about training a dog but honestly im embarrassed of my issues and dont like attention brought on myself. It's so embarrassing making weird noises,falling, peeing even pooping before. I am mortified that my body and brain fight me so badly. 😢And most of all i just feel crazy and useless.

Ive only had 3 seizures in my life due to what i believe now that i stopped drinking where alcohol convulsions, would see like a huge purple light and could not see straight only peripheral vision had about 1 minute then the purple light becomes dark and pitch black would wake up tired af and with a huge ass bite on my cheek and tongue. But like i say since i stopped the drink no problem but my doc still keeps me on keppra until the neurologist clears me keep in mind i only had 3 dont remember anything but people around me knew, next thing i know i woke up in a hospital. My question is its obvious it was alcohol related why keep taking the keppra?

[@muchlovegambine949]

I’ve only had 4 since 2020. Took keppra a for a while then stopped abruptly. Almost a year since my last seizure and I think it’s pnes because drs didn’t see activity in my scan. Now I just watch and am careful but hopefully I can undo stress and anxiety because I honestly feel that’s what started my seizure. Conspiracy part of me think it’s due to Covid because I didn’t have em until Covid was a thing but who knows. Any way good info

[@EstherHughett]

Just found out I have non epileptic seizures along with my epileptic seizures, which I had since I was a baby. After my right temporal lobectomy my bigger seizures became controlled. I started having jerking episodes almost 10 years later. My neurologist thought they were simple partial seizures awareness and impaired consciousness. After I showed him a video of me having a jerking spell he said they didn't look epileptic seizures because they lasted longer and my eyes are closed. I want to get off all my medicine to see if the brain surgery cured my epilepsy. I'm looking for someone who does Cognitive Behavioral therapy as my neurologist from the University research hospital told me to do. Can going off all my meds show if my epileptic seizures were cured even though the side effects will always be there. Things like memory loss, word finding, emotional lack, and other functions that come from the temporal lobe. And yes, I do have chronic PTSD.

Hello! Is it possible to have partial recognition or memory of a seizure with epilepsy or is that generally for PNES ? When i have my events they start with aura then one part of body shakes until eventually all is shaking. I ca. Hear people sometimes talking or know I'm shaking but can't control or respond. I've also wet myself and bitten my tongue.

Please review the video on diagnosis of PNES. It has all the different types

[@Rainbowqueen500]

i have PNES, my seizures always start when i am asleep, and if i am laying on my right side. i have also bitten my tongue so bad before and i have bad mouth ulcers after this.

[@kirgise88]

So basically, if you're diagnosed with epilepsy and treatment does not bring any improvement, you may have PNES. But if you're prematurely diagnosed with PNES and psychotherapy has no effect on your condition, you may have neither PNES nor epilepsy after all. There are conditions that mimic both. Since it's impossible to prove that you actually don't suffer from PNES, doctors may leave you hooked on that and label you as immune to treatment. In my experience psychologists and also neurologists have never even heard of these other causes for seizures. You need to go find a migraine specialist to be sure!

I’ve found your videos about PNES really useful! Can I ask, what treatment can be useful if there is no depression/anxiety/ptsd? And no trauma? I ask as I am in this position. Told it’s likely I have PNES in November. I stated having seizures days after a head injury. Brain scan showed prominent perivascular spaces which they think is from the head injury. I haven’t had any seizures now for 2 months. I had a week of them coming back after day 5 of being completely weaned off keppra but since then nothing. They are keen for me to try CBT which I am happy to do (i had it years ago after being anxious to leave my baby and it was amazing) but I don’t see how it can help when I’m in a good place and haven’t any worries or trauma that need to be shared?

You don’t have PNES. You have petit mal seizures that don’t present as epileptic in nature. Generally (not always) this means the seizure disorder itself is either in its infancy, or rather of the less severe type. What kind of medication have you tried; and were you consistent on taking it?

I was about to comment the same; 20 years losing jobs and my DL trying to disprove my DRs. on their incorrect diagnosis’ and pill pushing for epilepsy; just recently heard about PNES. But like alternative treatments, they are uninterested in an alternative diagnosis that doesn’t put money in their pocket. Im canceling my prescriptions and health coverage soon due to the sheer lack of coverage and unaffordability; there are better alternatives out there, herbal, spiritual, or otherwise. If people have to be slaves just to get basic medical care and survive, sovereignty and potential death are risks I’m willing to deal with. While it’s unlikely you have the same diagnosis and medical background, I was able to reduce mine by myself. 8 hrs of sleep, sober, no fast food/no soda, basic physical activity. Beyond that, it’s a deeper mindset of submitting/ relinquishing control over things you can’t control; and refusing to submit/agree to anything that threatens or instills fear/trauma. No one has Power/authority to dictate our lives; even God gave humanity free will. The last time I had a seizure was during lockdowns; I was told if I broke quarantine I could be arrested. my doctor and the government abdicated their authority; the only power and authority they have is what society gives them. Changed my mindset; they have no authority… Haven’t had an episode since. Hope things work out for you✌️

[@modelgoth]

I watched this series with great interest but was very disappointed. It feels to me like the constant deferrals to trauma are just clinical and scientific laziness. The part where the speaker attributes not getting better to issues with the "character" of the patient is more of the same with victim-blaming too. This entire series is basically telling the patient it is all in their head but trying to be nice and politically correct about it. You put the blame back on the patient, telling them to go to therapy rather than really advancing the science and finding out physically exactly the problem. It is therefore patronizing and still in the dark ages. We can do better than this. I want you to find, on an anatomical or molecular basis, what is happening to these patients, describe it, and treat it at its source. To call it "trauma" and "personality" is a cop out and practically criminal it is so unethical. It's a physical manifestation with physical causes. The body is like a machine and all parts and systems in it are connected. I think these patients deserve more and better than being sent to therapy and told to dig up their "traumas" to recover from what is a physical ailment with undoubtable physical causes. As a medical researcher and patient advocate, I am quite angry seeing these videos. Patients deserve better. How many patients are going to go through hell digging up inconsequential past traumas while something like a rare mitochondrial disease or spine instability go undiagnosed? Mast cell disorders, dysautonomia, so many real and treatable potential causes. But too often patients are thrown in the "psychogenic" bin. Just because a patient has PTSD doesn't mean everything is attributable to that, and even the PTSD itself has underlying molecular mechanisms that can be targeted. But the medical establishment, so entitled to its own ineptitude, puts the burden back on the patient by sending them to psychotherapy and blaming it on their "character" if they do not get better. I really truly think this video should be removed, if only for that part about patient "character" and personality. That is just disgusting and outrageous to have published in this day and age!

[@SuperWilbur77]

Definitely in agreement !

[@jessedaub6482]

While I agree on some points, I think it’s useful to understand there is so much about the brain we don’t yet understand. Sad but true. I want things to advance faster too, on behalf of my spouses quality of life and wellbeing, but as a caretaker I am 100% on board that MANAGING the disorder is the best course of treatment. Is it scientifically perfect no. But most people who suffer from this do have known causes rooted in ptsd, tbis, and family dysfunction. Take away the triggers and symptoms improve. Also, it’s important to understand the actual cause of the seizures is rooted in this physical injury that these psychological disorders cause. So, the research certainly needs to advance, but would likely expand to include the scientific biological cellular molecular trauma the brain has endured, and how to correct. There is no magic pill, the science just isn’t there yet unfortunately. I pray it will though and your frustration is valid. I wouldn’t call it criminal when this doctor is just trying to do the best with what we have today, at this point. ❤

They are non epileptic seizures.
