Epileptologist Explains Non-Epileptic Seizures (Stress Seizures)
Description
In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, Gil Solano sits down with an expert epileptologist, Dr. Omar Danoun, to discuss the complex and often misunderstood topic of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). We delve into the causes of PNES, including the psychological factors that set it apart from epileptic seizures. Together, we explore the available treatment options, from therapy to lifestyle interventions, and discuss the importance of accurate diagnosis. A significant portion of our conversation focuses on the stigma surrounding PNES—how it affects patients, their families, and even healthcare providers. We address why education and awareness are essential to breaking down these barriers and ensuring patients receive compassionate care. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a caregiver, or someone living with PNES, this insightful conversation offers valuable knowledge and practical guidance.
