Abstract
⺠Women with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) demonstrated a modest deficiency across neuropsychological domains. ⺠Patients with PNES outperformed those with epileptic seizures (ES) on verbal memory and naming tests. ⺠PNES impairment was related to attention deficits caused by affective instability. ⺠Symptoms of depression and anxiety were significant and common in patients with ES and those with PNES. ⺠Depression and anxiety symptoms were not useful in discriminating between groups.
