actually pseudo seizures are common ...anyone mental disordered or not can have them.. I know many children who have epilepsy (a seizure disorder/health issue) who have unconsciously caused their self to have pseudo seizures for attention, to get out of homework or a test, and other reasons...

it happens with people under a lot of stress, with depression with bipolar disorder with schizophrenia and many other things too.

I had pseudo seizures because was not eating correctly and not getting enough fluids.

I have also gotten them because of my medications not being the correct dosage /taking my medications wrong/ dr accidentally prescribed the wrong combo of medications and other reasons.

I have never gotten pseudo seizures from having DID.

pseudo seizures are like epilepsy seizures but do not have the electrical impulse firing in the brain.

DID people are no more prone to having them then any other medical mental or normal reason. even normal people with no medical/mental health issues can have them.

here where I live its classified as a conversion /facticious disorder.. where physical or mental symptoms are shown in having false seizures (False is what the word pseudo means in medical terms). it got its classification because false seizures dont have the electrical firing of electrical impulses in the brain like all the other seizure disorders and it was first noticed in people who were faking having epileptic seizures for attention and other reasons.

the mental health community here where I live and work (new york which is in the USA) now know its like when depression can show itself in a person by causing the person to have aches/ pains headaches.

treatment for pseudo seizures here where I live and work is focusing on the treatment for the mental disorder that is showing itself by creating false seizures..

if the persons diagnosis is depression a prescription for antidepressants will make it so the person no longer has the false seizures

if the person has schizophrenia a prescription for anti psychotics will prevent the false seizures.

if the person has a heart problem that is showing itself by having false seizures then heart medication will stop the false seizures.

if the person has DID, treatment for DID (grounding, medication for depresion/anxiety and other treatments for DID) will stop the seizures.

if the false seizures happen when a person is using drugs or alcohol the treatment is no more drinking and no more alcohol consumption, AA, NA and other treatments for drug and alcohol problems.

if the cause of the seizures is work stress then a change of job / vacation or other work related adjustments..

sometimes its a bit complicated with finding the right problem that is causing the false seizures and the right treatment but eventually with narrowing down/ruling out/ diagnostic testing and other ways to discover what is causing the false seizures the person is able to heal/recover from them

monarch butterfly... you are healing at an amazing rate. my guess is that you dont have to worry about having seizures. usually DID is at its worst before a person enters treatment and then gets better with treatment. I have 54 clients and only one of them has pseudo seizures.

Also its best that you get information from your treatment providers...what you find online is not always true..its just the view points of those that post the material you are finding...

to give you an example ...recently a wikipedia member came forwards with their own website had contained false information ...this website is what many feel is the one to go by for online encyclopedia information...

Wikipedia biography controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

just because you find something online does not make it true..

talk with your treatment providers they will tell you how rare it really is for someone to have DID let alone false seizures....not saying it doesnt happen because it does but it does not commonly occur..and is not just with DID.

any one for an y number of reasons can have them.

its best to rely more on your own treatment providers first, online websites/resources are not meant to take the place of what's what by your own treatment providers.
