See a therapist : Pseudoseizures occur when people are under emotional stress. The EEG is negative yet outwardly the person behaves and moves in such a way that looks like a real seizure. This behavior is serving a purpose in that the person is getting some emotional need met. Seeing a therapist can help and provide another outlet for emotional distress. This gets better over time and can go away.
