Nonepileptic Seizures are "seizures", plain and simple. They are not considered true "Epileptic" seizures but they are actual seizures. The old term (unfortunately still in use in some areas) is psuedoseizures, which, of course, is outdated and implies "faked" (psuedo) seizures. Nonepileptic Attack Disorder (NAED)is being used in England, but is problematic in its use of the word "attack". A newer term, now in use by some researchers, is Nonepileptic Events. In my opinion this is not a step forwards in the study and treatment of these seizures. This term is meant to clarify that these seizures are not Epileptic in nature. While this may be helpful to researchers it does a diservice to those who suffer from NES. To me it actually downplays the severity of the seizures as well as implying that the seizures are something other than "real" seizures. They are, in fact, exactly as debilitating as Epileptic Seizures. We don't need to isolate those with NES any further than they already have been isolated. We need to make sure that these are "Seizures" we are dealing with, despite the cause. The medical community convienently conveys responsibility for treatment of NES to the psychological community which seems to know next to nothing about them. I beleive that Nonepileptic Seizures is the correct term. It implies that they are not true Epilepsy and yet it retains the seriousness of the main sympton, seizures. Besides, we sometimes seem more interested in labels than we do in solving the problem. Lets just keep Nonepileptic Seizures as the term to use and get on with the treatment and cure. Teft
