Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) may look and feel just like epileptic seizures, but the key difference is that they don't involve the same electrical activity in the brain. Unlike epileptic seizures, anti-seizure medications aren’t effective for PNES. These seizures are often triggered by stress or conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), though the exact cause remains unclear. If you or someone you know experiences PNES, seeking help from a specialist right away is crucial for proper diagnosis and care. #PNES #MentalHealthMatters #SeizureAwareness #NationalEpilepsyDay
