Functional Seizures (FS) are events consisting of observable paroxysms of altered behaviour patterns or movement with or without loss of consciousness [1]. FS are known by several names, including: as psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) in the academic writing on the subject [2], as conversion disorder (CD) with seizures in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – 5 (DSM–5) [3], and as dissociative neurological symptom disorder, with nonepileptic seizures in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) [4].
