Does Homeopathy help us find solution ?
My mother has been having dissociative seizures daily for the past 6 months. During an episode, she suddenly closes her eyes, becomes completely unresponsive, her right hand shakes, followed by heavy complete body shaking jumping hurting herself unknowingly and side-to-side head movements for 20 mins. She does not respond to sound or touch throughout the episode. She has also been seeing black shadows and hearing whispers once or twice a day. She has been under psychiatric treatment for 5 months. Previous medications (Daxid 50 mg and Quetiapine 25 mg) did not help. Now taking Duvanta 20 mg (afternoon), Duvanta 30 mg (night), and Zolfresh 10 mg (night). The hallucination-like symptoms have reduced, but the seizures remain unchanged not even 1% reduced. She is also unable to sleep without medication. Is this condition treatable? How long does recovery usually take? Can homeopathy help us find a solution ? Any guidance would be great.

It is important to consider her neurological symptoms and psychiatric evaluation along with homeopathy. Homeopathy alone cannot give me complete cure. Kindly consult a known local homeopathic doctor and consult your family physician as well. As treatment from allopathic and homeopathic will go hand in hand

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's condition. I understand how distressing it must be for both her and your family.
From your description, your mother has:
Daily episodes of prolonged unresponsiveness lasting around 20 minutes.
Violent body shaking with involuntary movements and self-injury.
Right hand shaking before the episode.
Side-to-side head movements.
No response to sound or touch during the episode.
Previous visual and auditory hallucination-like symptoms.
Persistent insomnia requiring medication.
No significant improvement in the seizure-like episodes despite psychiatric treatment for five months.
Although she has been diagnosed with dissociative (psychogenic non-epileptic) seizures, it is important to ensure that the diagnosis is absolutely correct. Sometimes epileptic seizures, movement disorders, metabolic abnormalities, autoimmune conditions, or other neurological illnesses can present in a similar way.
If not already done, I would advise discussing with her neurologist and psychiatrist whether she has undergone:
Video EEG monitoring (very important for confirming the diagnosis)
MRI Brain
Routine blood investigations including electrolytes, thyroid profile, vitamin B12, and glucose
A detailed neurological evaluation
The history of seeing black shadows and hearing whispers also deserves careful evaluation, even though these symptoms have improved with treatment.
Is this condition treatable?
Yes. Many patients with dissociative seizures improve significantly, but recovery depends on identifying and addressing the underlying psychological, emotional, or physical factors. Improvement may take several months, and graduallyy month on month she will see the improvement and in some individuals longer.
Can homeopathy help?
yes Homeopathy will help on selected patients after a detailed individualized case assessment. Rather than focusing only on the seizure episodes, homeopathic treatment evaluates the patient's emotional history, personality, stressors, sleep, fears, past illnesses, and overall constitution. In my clinical practice, I have seen improvement in some patients with functional neurological symptoms when treatment was individualized. However, the response varies from person to person, and it should not replace ongoing neurological or psychiatric care currently gradually we can withdraw once she starts responding to homeopathy treatment. Any prescribed medications should only be changed under the guidance of her treating specialists.
To understand her case better, I would like to know:
Did these episodes begin after any major emotional trauma, grief, family conflict, or stressful life event?
Has epilepsy been conclusively ruled out with Video EEG?
Does she regain normal awareness immediately after the episode, or is she confused or sleepy?
Does she bite her tongue or lose bladder control during the episodes?
Does she have a history of anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or previous psychiatric illness?
Are the episodes more frequent during emotional stress?
If you can share her MRI brain report, EEG/Video EEG report, psychiatric diagnosis, and a detailed timeline of how the illness started, a more informed opinion can be given regarding the possible diagnosis and the role of individualized treatment.
I sincerely hope your mother recovers soon. Please continue her current treatment and do not stop or reduce her medications without consulting her treating psychiatrist or neurologist.

Condition is treatable with Homeopathy and allopathic depressant medicines can be reduced eventually. Psychosis is completely treatable with homeopathy. Thyroid also triggers depressive spells due to vitamin deficiency which can be assessed based on the case.

Thank you for sharing your mother's condition. I understand how difficult and stressful this must be for your family.
Dissociative seizures can be managed, but recovery varies from person to person. Since your mother is still experiencing daily episodes despite treatment, I recommend continuing regular follow-ups with her psychiatrist and, if required, consulting a neurologist for further evaluation.
As a Homeopathic physician, I believe every patient is unique. At UNICARE HOMEOPATHY Hospitals, I take a detailed case history to understand the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the condition before planning individualized treatment. Homeopathy may be considered as a complementary approach, but any changes to ongoing psychiatric medications should be made only under the guidance of the treating psychiatrist.
If you would like a detailed consultation, please feel free to contact me.
