In reply to What are psychic seizures?, posted by River1924 on February 24, 2007, at 2:15:53
Psychic seizures affect how we feel, think, and experience things. Patients may report a “dreamy
state,” transitional between waking and unconsciousness. Psychic seizures can alter language function,
perception or memory. They can also evoke spontaneous emotions (e.g., fear, anxiety, or depression),
altered perceptions of time or familiarity (time slowing down or speeding up; deja vu—new experiences
appear familiar, jamais vu—familiar things appear foreign), depersonalization (feeling one is not oneself),
derealization (the world seems unreal, dream-like), or autoscopy (viewing one’s body from outside).
