title: Nonepileptic seizures.
abstract: A review of the literature on epileptic seizures (NES) is presented, a common clinical entity that can be reliably diagnosed if suggestion and video-EEG monitoring are combined with an appreciation of the phenomenology of epileptic and nonepileptic events. Axis I psychiatric disorders with symptoms such as anxiety or dissociation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of NES.
