A member asked:
Can you tell me what to expect with someone who has suffered from involuntary jerking of limbs/seizure like symptoms from anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that rare: Once the diagnosis that the spasms are due to anxiety is firmly established, my advice is to establish care with psychologist or other counselor with experience dealing with conversion disorders and stress-related symptoms. ...and try to steer clear of the emergency room.
