Psychogenic Non Epileptic Attack?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Scarborough, ME

how will I ever know if the "seizure" I had might actually have been a psychogenic non epileptic attack? i cannot even have my epileptic activity register on an EEG since my brain surgery in 2007. What ever happened it caused me to have a bad car accident and now need to be 3 months seizure free before I can drive again.
