Sue,
Not true. Faking seizures is an extremely rare event. People with NES do not "fake" them. They are completely involuntary, as the Epilepsy Foundation points out. They have a psychological basis but are not under voluntary control. They are often conditioned responses (defense mechanisms) against traumatic psychological events often experienced in their early life.
