Default Seizure/Pseudoseizure HELP

2 years ago my son started having seizures. After a month and a half we were able to get them under control. However, 2 weeks later they came back twice as often, where he was having multiple seizures a day. After a 48 hour VEEG his Neuro. Dr. said he was having Pseudoseizures. With meds and seeing a Psych. dr. he went seizure free for 2 years..Now, 2 weeks ago the seizures have come back. We spoke with the Neuro. dr. and he once again believes that he is having Pseudoseizures, but that 50-60% of the time people have active seizures as well. Since then his neuro dr. has basically written him off telling us that he needs to deal with psych. He is on Depakote and Keppra for the seizures and Hydroxyzine 50mg 3x's a day for the "Pseudoseizures"....yet he is still seizing! The Psych dr. said that he should not be seizing on that high of anxiety meds if they are psychological. Anyone have anything like this? My heart is breaking for my son!
