Thanks Sue. I understand you clearly. The term pseudoseizure was developed quite awhile ago to describe seizures that were "not" epilepsy but also "not" fake. Fake seizures are called fake seizures. The use of the term pseudoseizure has now been withdrawn by the medical and psychological communities in favor of Nonepileptic Seizures. Researchers know that "malingering", or intentionally producing seizrues does occur, but it is rare when taken in the context of the total number of true pseudoseizures. I have many studies by that indicate this.

Take care,

John
