Prevalence and comparison of psychological trauma and stressors in functional seizure patients from a public and private hospital

The relationship between psychological trauma or substantial psychological stressors and the development of functional seizures is well-known [1]. Similarly, coming from a socioeconomically marginalised background is a known risk factor for psychological distress and adverse events [2]. Consequently, investigating potential differences in the experiences of psychologically distressing events among patients with FS along socioeconomic lines becomes important.
