Editing Talk:Psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (section)

== Wiki Project Med student editor ==

Hello PNES editors,
I am a medical student at Tel Aviv University who was assigned this article as part of a wikimed elective course. This article is currently listed as "start-class" so I intend to contribute new portions (e.g. causes, mechanism, pathophysiology, etc.) in an appropriate format. I am collaborating with a member of the [[International League Against Epilepsy|ILEA]] to facilitate neutral improvements. Please reach out to me with comments/questions/concerns regarding my edits.[[User:Gomer2|Gomer2]] ([[User talk:Gomer2|talk]]) 18:59, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Added "History & Culture" section. Added "Epidemiology" section.
Added "Signs & Symptoms" section.
Modified "Treatment" section to include (1) clarify importance of education in treatment and (2) difficulty falling through cracks (between psychiatry and neurology) 

Modified "Diagnosis" section: 
1. "capturing one or two episodes on both videotape..."; videotape is outdated technology
2. Saying EEG tests have high false-positive rate is inaccurate and has more to do with EEG interpretation. false-negative also occurs but apparently can be identified as such. In any case, conventional EEG is not the most relevant for PNES...sticking instead to long-term video-EEG monitoring.
3. goals (#1-4) of EEG-video monitoring

modified Intro: PNES are by definition psychological. 

Added "Causes" section:
