From Medscape: Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures (PNES)

I don't know what the current status of PNES is, but a decade or more ago some doctors would automatically associate PNES / NES / Pseudoseizures with faking. One medical doctor specifically told me that NES was their way of saying a patient was faking seizures.

Of course, I don't believe that. What your daughter is experiencing is real and uncontrolled. Whether or not she is suffering from a conversion disorder would have to be determined by a psychiatrist or specialist.
