Comorbid epilepsy and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures: How well do patients and caregivers distinguish between the two

A significant proportion of patients with epilepsy and PNES and their caregivers seem to be unable to discriminate between these events a year after diagnosis. These findings have implications for both clinical follow-up and research involving this population. Future research should further investigate methods that would allow patients and their caregivers to better distinguish between these two events.
