To my knowledge, Psychogenic Seizures will not kill you as long as they occur in circumstances that don’t present additional risks such as driving a car, etc. . They are very embarrassing, worrisome, and inconvenient. I believe the medical field has a long way to go to adequately understand the condition. I believe we have only touched the surface of the cause and physiology of the seizures. One thing that can help is to learn to pace yourself through each day, without rushing, and limit how much you put on your plate at any given time. Take on only what you can handle at the moment and focus only on it. Avoid spreading yourself too thin and take each day at a steady and doable pace. The rest will have to be balanced as best as possible. I hope this helps.

I nearly died from PNES that went out of control

The life threat came from my nervous system slowly breaking down

I was able to reverse the deadly effect with special treatment that is “unconventional”

So, while individual seizures may not be deadly per sae, the condition can wear one out
