No, a pseudoseizure is a spell that might look like a seizure but is not associated with EEG abnormalities . There can be many causes, but sometimes mental health issues
such as anxiety can be associated with these non epileptic events.

PNES is is Psychogenic Non Everything Spells(or Episodes-PNEE) that be either organic (of physical stress) or in organic (of psychological duress). The latter (psychological) is most often occurred in Conversion Disorder when the mind converts an outward event into an inward response so as not to react (adversely) to the event. The former is often stress related. PNEE/PNES. These episodes can become concomitant.

Go to a coffee shop and pick a random color and anyone who walks in the door of the coffee shop with that color on you talk to and make friends with.
