Psychogenic Non Epileptic Seizures Information
NEAD-non epileptic attack disorder is the term for PNES in Britain
• What is good about this name? The term is somewhat imprecise which is why some patients like it. Because it does mention the psychological part, it is felt to lead to less rejection by others.
• What is the problem with this name? It does not point out the psychological origin of the condition and does not differentiate this condition from physiological/organic non-epileptic seizures.
