Question for people with functional seizures ONLY:
what, if anything, have you found that helps w decreasing seizures, or makes living with them more manageable?
Great study on quality of life in functional seizures. Key take-away: quality of life correlates positively with number of mental health clinic visits. Psychotherapy is vital for improving outcomes in functional neurological disorders.
