Non-epileptic seizures (NES) are events that resemble seizures which are not attributable to electrical disturbances in the brain [34]. NES can be referred to by multiple other names, including psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, functional neurological disorder and dissociative seizures [49]. It is estimated that between 2 and 33 people out of 100,000 experience NES, and that 20% of people referred to specialist services with epilepsy have NES [3,31]. NES are also associated with inappropriate administration of anti-convulsant medication, invasive procedures and emergency department attendance [22,41].
