Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Pseudoseizures refer to seizures of psychological origin, and are also referred to as non-epileptic seizures. They result due to underlying mental disturbances. A psychiatric consultation would be useful.

Since your MRI and EEG are normal, we are most likely not missing anything serious.

Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
