A method and system for detecting a probability of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures using a portable battery powered device placed on the body of a patient and a device for manually logging detected seizures within a time period. The device may, advantageously, have a seizure detection algorithm which automatically records seizures detected within that time period. The two sets of data may then be transferred to a another device where the logged time stamps are matched to the recorded time stamps for determining if the detected seizure is a generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) or might be a psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES). This provides a cheap and simple method for registering a probability of PNES by using a seizure detection device having an EMG-sensor or an accelerometer.
