In reply to What are psychic seizures?, posted by River1924 on February 24, 2007, at 2:15:53
They are a kind of simple partial seizures. "Simple" means no loss of conscious (it is called complex if you do); "partial" means the seizure is localized in one part of the brain (it is called general/generalized if the whole/large parts of the brain have seizure activity).
Where the seizure activity happens in the brain effects how the seizure will present itself & what it will effect. Senses, movement, and thinking or emotions can be effected. As dbc mentioned
psychic seizures effect senses. Some people think of seizures as being convulsions but simple and complex partial seizures never produce convulsions.
