This is PediCast.

Welcome to Pediacast, a pediatric podcast for parents.

And now, direct from the campus of nationwide children's, here is your host, Dr. Mike.

Hello, everyone, and welcome.

Once again to PDACast.

It's a pediatric podcast for moms and dads.

It's episode 390 for December 13th, 2017.

We're calling this one Coco and Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures.

I want to welcome everyone to the program.

So we have a fairly technical topic for you this week,

but it's an important one for both parents

and pediatric providers who are in the audience. For parents, you know, my primary goal is to

raise awareness about this condition, and we'll break down the terminology, psychogenic non-epileptic

seizures. We'll explain exactly what it means and what it is.

My second goal for parents is really to have a resource in the archive for parents who

are looking for more in-depth information about this disorder.

Perhaps because your family is impacted by it.

It's nice to dive a little deeper into the science while still presenting the

material in a way that folks can easily understand. Now, we also have a lot of pediatric

providers in this audience, and my goal is the same for you, awareness, a deeper dive into understanding,

because this is probably not something you see every day in your practice, but at some point, you will likely come across psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.

And you'll want to effectively include the condition in your differential diagnosis and your workup plan.
