Objective: The purpose of this prospective study was to identify predictive factors of the evolution of the number of seizures.

Methods: We included 85 individuals with a diagnosis of Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizure (PNES) who completed at least two clinical interviews spaced by 6 months during a 24-month follow-up. Participants underwent a structured interview with an experimented clinician in PNES to complete standardized evaluation and validated scales.

Objective: Previous studies showed that patients with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES) have poor quality of life (QoL). This study explored the explicative factors of the QoL at the time of diagnosis and monitored changes over the two years of follow-up.

Methods: We evaluated 107 participants with a diagnosis of Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizure (PNES), every 6 months for 24 months.
