My mother has severe muscle spasms or Pseudoseizures as they are called, they look like epileptic seizures but are not "true" seizures. I want to know if there are any crystals, herbs, anything we can use to calm them down, or even stop them for some time.
A little info on pseudoseizures:
Pseudoseizures (Psychogenic Seizures)
These seizures, also called nonepileptic events, mimic seizures in presentation without EEG evidence of true seizure activity in the brain. Pseudoseizures indicate an underlying psychiatric condition.
Sometimes people appear to have seizures, even though their brains show no seizure activity. This type of phenomenon has various names, including nonepileptic events and pseudoseizures. Both of these terms essentially mean something that looks like a seizure but isn't one. Nonepileptic events that are psychological in origin may be referred to as psychogenic seizures. Psychogenic seizures may indicate dependence, a need for attention, avoidance of stressful situations, or specific psychiatric conditions. Some people with epilepsy have psychogenic seizures in addition to their epileptic seizures. Other people who have psychogenic seizures do not have epilepsy at all. Psychogenic seizures cannot be treated in the same way as epileptic seizures. Instead, they are often treated by mental health specialists.
I value all feedback.
Thank You,
Tawana
