Jennie,
absolutely not! Pseudo seizures are not intentionally. They are as real as the
real one. My doctor put it this way...Your body needed to relax when you are
stressed out and so your mind tells you body that "ok know you relaxed after
having a seizure ...I think I should have one to get rid of this stress" You are
not aware that it is doing that. The Brain is a funny thing sometimes it knows
that if you can't handle something that it needs to help by finding how to
help. Some might walk back and forth or eat or go for a walk but for us
epileptics it can also cause you to have a seizure because that is what it knows
that will relax you afterwards. I don't know it chooses to do it in some and not
all epis. Trish (jiminycricketblue)

Wow thank you Trish, you have worked very hard and come so far out ahead.
Congratulations.
I understand more now than before by far.
But are pseudo seizures truly intentionally faked?
I have both epi & pseudo
Seizures. Some of the seizures have to do with vein swelling that stops all
oxygen & nourishment from getting to parts of my brain & body depending where
the veins are actively affected at the time.
Complex Partial Seizures epi were found in the left lobe that affects balance,
emotions & communication.
I have also had the absence seizures evident to family for years.
But the tests are months out so by the time I get to test they are all gone.
Negro Dr told me 5+ years ago scientists found a Panic Attack in which they also
found a true epileptic seizure. I don't have a name for it, nor do I know what
they call it. Apparently anxiety & Panic can bring them on.
Never heard of a seizure counselor.
Sincerely,
Jennifer A Holland
