Yet now we have information suggesting that basic collaboration and attending psychotherapy visits yield a robust improvement, possibly rivaling the effect sizes of anticonvulsants for electrical seizures. When we have treatment options, the fear of a condition decreases. The stigma of the condition also reduces. Patients with cancer in the 1970s or major depression in the 1980s would not admit that they had these conditions for fear of being ostracized socially. But as treatment improved, people “survived” cancer and recovered from depression, and the diagnoses lost their power to induce fear. Fear and worry still exist for PNES, as evidenced by the fact that both neurologists and psychiatrists apparently resist taking responsibility to treat this condition. It exists because events themselves cause fear and clinicians are unsure how to help, yet as treatment outcomes improve, fear dissipates.
