How is a non-epileptic seizure diagnosed?
The following may be done to prevent injuries during an attack: • Do not hold or tie the person down. • Do not place anything in the person’s mouth or try to force the teeth apart. The person is not in danger of swallowing his tongue. • Do not pour any liquid into the person’s mouth or offer food or medicines until he is fully awake. • If possible, turn the person on his side during the attack. • Observe the length and type of movement of the seizure. Remember the position of the person’s head or eyes during the attack. • Place something soft under the person’s head and loosen his clothing. Clear the area around him of sharp and hard objects. • Stay with the person until the seizure ends. Let the person rest until he is fully awake.
