not in my location....when a treatment provider is talking to a client/patient here they dont use the term psychogenic. here where I live and work the word used is false seizures and the word pseudo seizures...

though the problem is common in that it happens with many mental and physical health issues and can happen to completely normal people too...

each location, religion, culture .....call it by different names..

I know a religion that calls this being taken over by evil forces
I know another religion that calls this taking a walk with jesus
I know a culture that calls this a mental break
another culture calls this pseudo status
another culture that calls psychogenic seizures pleasure tides because it leaves a person feeling similar to having an orgasm..(sometimes disoriented, unconnected, faint, dizzy, tired exhausted.. and other feelings)

every location, culture, religion and what have you, has their own way that they approach, diagnose and name mental and physical health issues/symptoms/problems.

my location does not commonly call it psychogenic seizures we call it false seizures/pseudo seizures. we know its the same thing but we call it by a different name.
