Hysterical seizures

Psychogenic Non Epileptic Seizures Information


Hysterical seizures

• Hysteria stems back thousands of years and was used to name unusual symptoms in women that were thought to be due to their "wandering uterus" (hystera).

• What is the problem with this name? Basically, this name is incorrect in that the uterus has nothing to do with this condition and moreover, men can also have PNES.
