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'm sorry you and your son are going through this. It must be very distressing for both of you.

    I'm 66 years old and was diagnosed with ASD earlier this year. I have co-morbid GAD and cPTSD amongst other disorders. I endured many adverse childhood events.

    I stated to dissociate in stressful situations when I was 17 years old. In my case, they have persisted to this day, and are related to anxiety/cPTSD. I just let them come and go now that I know what they are. It's quite surreal when it happens.

    I don't know if this information helps you in any way but I wish you and your son well on life's journey.
