Brief Answer:
Traumatic events may cause such issues.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Nonepileptic seizures are attacks that may look like epileptic seizures, but are not caused by abnormal brain electrical discharges.

They are a manifestation of psychological distress and are caused by different traumatic events.

So, if the true seizures are already excluded by a Neurologist and EEG, you should be treated by a Psychologist or Psychiatrist.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
