Psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) involves attacks that act as epilepsy-related seizures. PNES is more likely to affect women than men and utmost generally begins in the youth. Epileptic seizures generally last between 30 and 120 s depending on the type, while PNES occurrences generally last for two to five twinkles.
