The site for professionals seeking education on Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures (PNES)
Welcome to the PNES Education website
Welcome to this educational site. Our target audience are clinicians who are already working with patients diagnosed with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) and are seeking to learn how to work more effectively with them or those who hope to begin seeing patients with PNES in the near future!
Coming soon, patients and loved ones will also find educational recordings to help them
understand and manage their condition better.
OUR VISION
About PNES
We are a group of specialists in PNES from around the globe, working together to help build public awareness and a reservoir of information for health professionals. The purpose of nonepilepticseizures.com is to create the most comprehensive consumer information, public and professional education website on PNES in the US and other English-speaking countries. In order to achieve this, we plan to have two sections: one for the PNES community (patients and loved ones) and another section for health professionals seeking reliable information and updated on scientific reports about this health disorder. Both sections are open and can be visited by anyone. Some examples of the content this website has to offer to the general public include a link with treatment referral sites for patients seeking care and a frequently asked questions (FAQs) section. An example of the professional content is a repository of peer-reviewed articles on PNES organized by topic for professionals and brief articles written specifically for this website.

PNES in Schools
PNES in Schools: What is it? How does it happen? Who needs to know? The school can become an important aide in promoting return to “normal” as well as assisting the family in connecting with information to better understand the diagnosis and treatment.
Return to School with a plan
The primary goal upon returning to school is being succesful in managing episodes at school. Learning and social interaction will come but that should not be the main focus.

Prolonged exposure (PE) for treating PNES
Around 50% of patients with PNES also have PTSD, often linked to psychological trauma and life adversities.

This lesson will explain PE, review supporting research, and discuss how it can be adapted for treating patients with both PNES and PTSD.
Working safely with Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)
Working safely with someone who has seizures is not usually covered in graduate school. Recommendations in this course are based on Dr. Myers' 20+ years of professional experience as a psychologist working with people who have seizures. For instance, it offers practical advice regarding what information to collect before meeting with the patient, how to make sure the therapy office is safe, and when to call 911.
