A member asked:
If a non epileptic patient believes they are having seizures but doesn't really experience any other symptoms. is it possible the person is experiencing pseudo seizures or brain zaps from anxiety and stress?

Possibly: The situation you describe may be more serious and should be examined by a neurologist. Tests to determine exactly what is happening to you can be performed and the cause can be both identified and treated.
