Abstract

To determine the frequency and severity of psychiatric disorders and attribution of seizures to traumatic brain injury (TBI) in veterans with verified psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) versus epileptic seizures (ES).

All patients underwent continuous video-electroencephalographic recording to define definite PNES or ES. Evaluations included the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, PTSD Checklist, Beck Depression Inventory II, and Patient Seizure Etiology Questionnaire. Interviews and questionnaires were completed prior to final seizure type diagnosis and patient debriefing.

PTSD was the most frequent Axis I diagnosis in veterans with PNES (64%, vs 13% of those with ES; P < 0.001). Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was common regardless of deployment to a war theater or combat exposure. Mood, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders were also more common in the PNE...Continue Reading
