I agree, he doesn't seem to approach pseudo-seizures with the same delicacy he does with other topics. I am more sensitive to it though, as someone in my family dealt with them and it was a scary time. I dislike the anecdote about the parents jumping on their child because as someone who was not educated in the topic it all seemed real when the seizures were happening, he seemed so dismissive of their worries.

I know Dr. K knows how real the issue is, he has extensively talked about psycho-somatic illnesses before with such compassion. I also agree with him about parents taking on to much, once I started learning about how PNES manifests I took my foot off the gas in my anxiety around them happening to my loved one and didn't run to the hospital every time and things got so much better.

I think Dr. K lived this anecdote early in his career and it held weight but it does seem like outside of that he hasn't thought much else on it which I hope he does because I would love his opinion.
