Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures publications in PubMed: Geographical distribution of the publications

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are common occurrences in epilepsy centers [1]. Currently, the diagnosis is often made by neurologists/epileptologists and the treatment is usually offered by psychologists/psychiatrists. But, misdiagnosis and delay in making a definite diagnosis and consequently maltreatment practices are common in these patients [2]. In addition, there is no universally accepted terminology, definition and classification system for this common condition [3,4]. Similarly, pathophysiology and neurobiological underpinnings of PNES are still poorly understood [5,6].
