What is another word for hysterical epilepsy?
Pronunciation: [hɪstˈɛɹɪkə͡l ˈɛpɪlˌɛpsi] (IPA) 
Hysterical epilepsy is a condition that was once believed to be a legitimate medical condition, but is now recognized as a form of psychological disorder. It is characterized by the occurrence of seizures without any underlying neurological basis. This condition is also known as "psychogenic non-epileptic seizures" or "functional seizures." Other synonyms for hysterical epilepsy include "pseudoseizures," "conversion seizures," "non-organic seizures," and "psychogenic seizures." Despite the difference in terminology, the condition is still considered to be a manifestation of mental or emotional distress, and not a physical condition. Treatment for this condition involves psychological counseling and support to address the underlying emotional or psychological factors.
