Not always: Patients with pseudoseizures do not know whether they are having pseudoseizures. I do not blame psychiatric conditions. More with enormous stress and not being able to cope may cause pseudoseizure.

Not medical: Pseudo seizures are related to an underlying psychological problem, most commonly anxiety. The often occur in individuals who are having epileptic seizures.
