When he is conscious he says that helps when I talk to him. Last time he was unconscious but I was able to pull him out of the convulsions in about 30 seconds by holding his hand and talking to him so it seems effective. I never freak out and I have read that being calm helps. Is there anything else I can do to help?

seizures are a very serious thing that needs special treatment plans, even the non epileptic/conversion disordered type of seizures that come with many different mental disorders. most times it takes meds, trauma therapy (working on the issues that caused a person to become DID) most times inpatient care is needed if the person is not able to gain control on their own over their triggers and reactions that cause the seizures.
therefore the only thing I can suggest is he contact his treatment providers to let them know the seizures are happening, or are increasing. so that they can adjust meds, therapy, rest and exercise .....and what ever other treatment options they have him on.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
