Manage episode 444729512 series 2902490
In epilepsy, seizures are caused by an 'electrical storm' in the brain that can be seen during an EEG test.
But there is another kind of seizure, which presents the same but cannot be seen on an EEG.
Despite being so common, there are few treatments for functional seizures and functional neurological disorder (FND).
