Summary
Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) is a unique diagnosis that requests an interdisciplinary collaboration of health care. This is often a challenging problem in common clinical practice. The most serious morbidity of patients with PNES is caused by iatrogenic interventions. This review is focused on the issue of iatrogenesis of patients with PNES, on the possibilities to improve collaboration between neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists and physicians of primary health care and emergency service, on the optimal educational presentation of diagnosis PNES and psychoeducational and psychotherapeutic programmes for these patients.
Key words:
psychogenic non-epileptic seizures – epilepsy – iatrogenesis – educational intervention – psychoeducation – psychotherapy
The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.
The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
