title: Treatment for psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
abstract: The main differential diagnosis of epilepsy among young adults is psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. Such seizures may manifest themselves in very different ways and usually have complex root causes. Optimal treatment of persons experiencing seizures of this type requires close cooperation between the neurologist and the psychiatrist.
