FAQs about psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)


Can psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) occur at any age?

Although PNES can occur at almost any age, they most frequently start in the teenage years and between the ages of 25 and 35.

PNES is rare in children younger than 5 and in adults older than 65 but it certainly has been reported as starting at these ages as well.
