Dissociative seizures PNES

Hello,

my son suddenly started having seizures at 16. Had all tests done and been told they are dissiotive. The weird thing is after the seizure he can be very angry and aggressive. It is getting worse. Does anyone else have this? Or any he,p out there? Or what’s making them worse?

  • I know of someone who has this. They've had scans and test after test which all came back as normal. 

    They have been advised that it's stress/ anxiety related. They are being treated with higher dose of SSRI and they are going to have counselling. 

    I think they treat it in a similar way to PTSD.

    She was told the seizures were her bodies way of coping when her anxiety maxed out.

    Good luck to you both
