Psychosocial long-term outcome in patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are a prevalent heterogeneous condition and considered as a symptom of several underlying psychiatric factors. [1,2] Despite advances in the understanding of PNES over the last years, diagnosis and management remain challenging [3,4]. Long-term studies suggested that outcome is in general poor. The majority of patients continue to experience PNES several years after diagnosis of PNES [5–8].
