Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Your daughter could be suffering from hypochondriasis induced somotoform disorder. Almost comes under OCD. Being obsessive about the thoughts of her seizures and related problems depresses her for long term and her mind slowly gets her body to respond as if she thinks. You should consult a psychiatrist and get proper diagnosis and treatment.

Good luck.
