Abstract

Abstract : Mark is a 16‐year‐old boy with a history of some depressive symptoms and social difficulties at school who began having episodes that looked like seizures. He would fall down, and his arms and legs would start jerking. He was semialert during these episodes and had no memory of them afterward, seeming disoriented at times.
