Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), also referred to as pseudoseizures, non-epileptic attack disorder (NEAD), functional seizures, or dissociative seizures,[2][3] are episodes resembling an epileptic seizure but without the characteristic electrical discharges associated with epilepsy.[4][3] PNES fall under the category of disorders known as functional neurological disorders (FND)[5] and are typically treated by psychologists or psychiatrists.
