A Prospective Psychological Study of Patients with Undiagnosed Episodes of Disturbed Consciousness by L. D. Blumhardt, D. Barnes, S. J. Howell, E. Ghadiali

“…Although the basic psychological tests we used cannot reliably separate individual patients with epilepsy from those with non-epilepsy, they do have some predictive value with respect to the prognosis of unexplained symptoms. Further detailed prospective studies may help to establish the relationship between psychological disorder and unexplained symptoms and perhaps reduce the need for repeated, expensive investigations.…”
