FAQs about psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)
Is there an official awareness color for psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)?
As of 2014, a grassroots movement on Facebook, chose two colors to represent PNES. Since PNES typically combines seizures and psychological trauma, PNES advocate, Eric L. Nelson, proposed purple to represent seizures and teal to represent PTSD. Responses on Facebook were incredibly positive and the rest is history!
PNES colors: Purple/Teal.
