A Systematic Review of Family Caregivers’ Perspective on Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures in Children and Adults

Abstract

This review paper provides a comprehensive review of existing literature on the experiences of family caregivers of patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). PNES is a challenging condition that often requires extensive caregiving support. Understanding the distinct challenges faced by family caregivers is crucial for the development of effective support systems. This review explores the physical, emotional, and psychological impacts of PNES on family caregivers, their coping mechanisms, and potential interventions and support strategies to improve their well-being and enhance patient care.
