Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures in individuals with intellectual disability/borderline cognitive function: Characterization through a comparison study.

Purpose: We set out to characterize psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) in individuals with either intellectual disability (ID) or borderline intellectual function (BIF) in comparison to those with normal cognitive function. We aimed to identify differences between the two groups to improve clinical management protocols.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational, single-center study.
