Over the last few years Seizure – European Journal of Epilepsy has published many articles on Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures (PNES). For example, six articles with “PNES” in their title were identified since January 2019, i.e. in the last five months [1–6]. “PNES” is now the most common term in the neurology literature for naming a psychiatric disorder characterized by the production of clinical seizures without electroencephalographic changes. This disorder has been misnamed over the centuries with different terms, such as “hystero-epilepsy,” “pseudo-seizures,”, etc., that were either wrong, stigmatizing, offensive or denied the reality of the symptoms.
