Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, he may have pseudo-seizure due to school stress. In that case,you should consult a psychiatrist and psychologist for his mental status examination. That would help to make a proper diagnosis. Treatment in his case depends upon the reason that lead to pseudo-seizure. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
