they should just classify it as a conversion reaction, because there are epileptic and non epileptic seizures). Non epileptic seizures can be from medical issues to such as fever, but they are real, manifestations of medical causes of seizures).

Pseudoseizures are not seizures at all. It is a mental illness.

can you have an Aura before a non-epileptic AKA pseudoseizure?

i came across this after trying to find causes for the twitching/jerking and on occasions dropping to the ground that i have. It only ever happens when my anxiety levels are high, usually caused by hallucinations. is it worth while going to the doctors? or would you reckon just leave it try and get on with it etc...

great video, thanks for sharing x

you should make a video on Conversion disorder.

I think this video is very important because there are clearly people (I have witnessed this) who have build ups of reactivated tensions that can relate to past events and trauma which can emerge as these seizures . This is very important stuff ... Glad you have put it up ..
