You are referring to Todd's Paresis aka Todd's Paralysis
which follows after a seizure (usually a Tonic-clonic,
aka Grand Mal), and is a gradual recovery:
Todd's Paresis / Todd's Paralysis from Wiki
I suffer from this sporadically and it can be very scary.
NOW in regards to:
Pseudoseizures - is an old terminology, they now use
NES - Non-Epileptic Seizures and PNES - Physiologic
Nonepileptic Seizures
It falls into two categories:
1) Psychogenic - which is related to physical problems,
such as cardiac, diabetic, hypoglycemia, etc.
2) Physiologic - which is related to psychological factors,
such as trauma, abuse, emotional issues, etc.
Such seizures are not faked and they are not "crazy".
However under proper treatment and care they can
be controlled and maintained.
========================
There IS such thing as "FAKE SEIZURES" - to which
people use to gain attention by faking such and have
mental problems; hence why the old terminology is being
discontinued because of confusion. Instead they now
call this Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder - NEAD.
Hope all this information helps!
