Hello Dear.
Idiopathic seizures (sometimes called primary or cryptogenic seizures) are the most common in childhood and occur as a result of an unknown genetic or physiological disposition. In these cases the cause cannot be identified. Oftentimes there is a family history of epilepsy. The majority of children with epilepsy have idiopathic seizures.
Events that may be mistaken for seizure activity. Not everything that looks like a seizure is a seizure. There are many psychiatric and medical problems that can result in a sudden alteration in consciousness. These include:
• migraine headaches
• sleep disorders (eg sleep walking)
• staring episodes
• obsessive-compulsive disorder
• hypoglycemic episodes
• cardiac syncope
• "psychogenic seizures"
Nonepileptic "psychogenic seizures". These are episodic events wherein the individual has a sudden, dramatic alteration in behavior that looks like a seizure (e.g. side to side heading shaking, pelvic thrusting). but turns out to represent a psychological disorder. These events have been given other names including "pseudoseizures", "hysterical seizures", and "nonepileptic events.You should give more care and attention to her and discuss with her all the problems.Good attention and love may help her.
