Psychiatric Comorbidity and Seizure Characteristics in Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures: A Clinical Correlational Study

This study investigates whether seizure characteristics in psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES)—events resembling epilepsy without abnormal EEG activity—can predict concurrent psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. Researchers compared PNES patients with and without comorbid psychiatric conditions, finding that semiological features alone do not reliably predict the presence of psychiatric comorbidity.
