CNEP, this is not an epileptic seizure

Auréa has had several psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), events that look like epileptic seizures but aren't. For Auréa, as for 80% of people living with PNECs, they are associated with a history of psychological trauma. Lamyae Benzakour, head of the psychotraumatology consultation at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), explains how these seizures can be diagnosed and managed.
