A member asked:
I have high anxiety/phobias. could this lead to seizures? im not epileptic and no family hx of seizures.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety: Does not manifest in seizures. There is a slight possibility of experiencing a pseudo-seizure. This is not a true seizure but can look like one in terms of motor movement. Please see a clinical psychologist to learn ways to manage your anxiety and this possible phobia. Peace and good health.
