Eliminating Nonepileptic Seizures from our lives

We want this web site to be a starting point for those with Nonepileptic Seizures and their family members to get the help they need. We want you to know that you are not alone and that there is hope. Sometimes patients diagnosed with nonepileptic seizures feel abandoned by health care providers and others. We very much want that to end. As a sufferer of nonepileptic seizures and a spouse we know how difficult it is. We hope that you will find this to be a place of learning and healing.

This is the most complete, centralized resource web site dedicated solely to Nonepileptic Seizures (NES). Through this web site you can find some suggested treatment options that have reportedly been successful and information that may help you to find a physician who is experienced in treating NES. These physicians should have experience with Dissociation, the basic mechanism that produces NES.
