Introduction: In a patient experiencing epilepsy, the following points are essential: the patient’s experience of seizures and their psychosomatic quality. The involvement of doctors is not only to cure the disease, but also to take into account all the surrounding factors (social, family). Materials and methods: The patient was referred to the National Center for Epileptology at the age of 15 with an established diagnosis of epilepsy. The evolution of the seizures took place in two stages: a marked decrease in the frequency of seizures under anticonvulsant treatment, but, subsequently, the onset of emotionally triggered seizures. Results and discussion: From a psychosomatic point of view, a person with epilepsy is constantly confronted and feels so strong that it manifests itself physically. Conclusion: During the psychotherapy sessions, the doctor showed his emotional involvement in the human relationship. This requires a lot of discussion, advice and real patient education.
