The Neurologist was given the task to inform the patient about the diagnosis, but without any guidance on how to do it, the neurologist did not find the right words. The patient understood that it was all her own fault and that the Neurologist could do nothing for her. When the Neurologist left the room, the patient jumped out of the window and killed herself. For many years afterward, the Neurologist tried to avoid any contact with patients with this diagnosis, but in the long run, that was of course not possible. However, it turned out that this horrible event had sensitized the Neurologist against common attitudes toward these patients. The Neurologist understood how deadly serious their condition was and was scandalized when, at video conferences, Psychogenic Seizures habitually were joked and laughed about. Little distinction was made between dissociative conditions and malingering, and the patients were often treated as if they had been found out to have pretended to be genuinely ill but were not. In consequence, neurologists did not feel responsible for these patients and transferred them to psychiatrists. Psychiatrists, however, had little diagnostic experience with seizures and often disbelieved their psychogenicity.","PeriodicalId":273617,"journal":{"name":"Non-Epileptic Seizures in Our Experience","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126808865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was one patient, in particular, who had had epileptic seizures early in life. The description of these seizures, however, was very different from those that had happened during one of the outreach clinics conducted. The entire emphasis in the description of these seizures was on how the boy had a steady stream of spit emerging from the corner of his mouth. The Neurologist then requested to see another seizure right from the beginning. Within twenty minutes, the boy started to have one of his “seizures.” The boy was lying comfortably, hands folded, eyes shut, and there was foaming saliva at the angle of his mouth. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and stood up and looked expectantly at the Neurologist as if gauging if the Neurologist was satisfied or not. The Neurologist then explained to the father that the current events seemed to be non-epileptic and told the boy that these “seizures” were definitely going to stop now as he had visited the special clinic. Four weeks later, the boy had not had any more “seizures.”","PeriodicalId":273617,"journal":{"name":"Non-Epileptic Seizures in Our Experience","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116620279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The job of the psychotherapist, then, is to help the person understand what it is he or she needs to say when there are no words to tell the story. Not only are there no words, but even if there were, those that matter would not hear them. Hence, there is no solution; no one must know the depths of the person’s distress or what has caused it, but keeping it locked inside is impossible. It leaks out, through shakes, tremors, convulsions, and dissociation. Sometimes the intolerable feelings that necessitate the escape are hidden even to the person him- or herself. The seizure helps defend the self, providing a necessary distance between body and mind. Learning to respect this took the psychotherapist longer than it should have; to appreciate that helping people to live more easily with their symptoms is sometimes the wisest way forward. However, to be able to really hear someone, to understand the language of the person’s seizures and symptoms, and to help the person change his or her experience as a result—that is what the psychotherapist aspires to do in this work.","PeriodicalId":273617,"journal":{"name":"Non-Epileptic Seizures in Our Experience","volume":"68 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114106355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These dramatic narratives demonstrate how physical and real the effects of PNES are on people’s lives. Both cases also show the impossibility of separating body from mind. Miss A.’s non-epileptic seizure in the recovery room may have been triggered by the sensations associated with waking from her anesthetic, but it is likely to have been prolonged by the sedative drugs she was given in the attempt to stop it. Meanwhile, Mister B.’s dissociative seizure disorder may well have been precipitated by the challenges associated with adjusting to the new diagnosis of epilepsy, but it may have been facilitated by the physical or functional changes in his brain associated with the epileptic seizures. The depression, which may have been physically or psychologically related to the development of his epilepsy or the antiepileptic drug treatment, probably made an etiological contribution to the non-epileptic seizures as well. What these cases also illustrate is how, in the treatment of patients with seizure disorders, listening and observing continue to be the key skills clinicians need as they try to manage conflicts between the need for action and uncertainties, which characterize so much of epileptological practice.","PeriodicalId":273617,"journal":{"name":"Non-Epileptic Seizures in Our Experience","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132361748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
