Dissociative Seizures/Non-Epileptic Attacks

Dr Markus Reuber, a neurologist in Sheffield, has done a lot of research in this area and has produced a booklet which has a lot of useful information in it. He places a little more emphasis on stress than I do in this website but there is mostly common ground.

The Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder Trust (NEAD trust) is a new organisation with a growing range of useful resources for patients including a forum.

NEAD Scotland also has useful information for patients including a live chat room and forum. Again the emphasis on this website is more on psychological factors and trauma than on my own but there is much common ground
