Suggest Treatment For Pseudoseizures
20 years ago I was diagnosed with pseudo seizures and was told there was nothing that could be done. The seizures appear to others to be like complex partial onset seizures. 20 years ago was told it was NOT epilepsy, as there were no psysiological changes: brain waves, vitals, all remained normal w/o any changes. that was 20 years ago too!!! would like to be retested to see if there has been any new advancements in this area. had a seizure last week after going 4 weeks w/o one while swimming, and nearly drowned. I live in Perry, GA. tight financial situation. Any suggestions? Please help!!

Hi.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Treatment includes psychotherapy and use of adjunctive medications to treat coexisting anxiety or depression.
Psychiatric and neuropsychological assessment is best undertaken by those with special expertise, after a detailed psychological assessment, a course of cognitive behavioural therapy is done. Issues such as previous abuse and traumatic experiences will need to be explored.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be helpful in patients with significant anxiety or depression.
Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps
