Is a sudden faint due to emotional pressure considered a mental disease?

Question

I have a 28-year old fiance. He had a very difficult childhood with an extremely strict dad at a highly stressful home.
Some times under the emotional pressure- as he says- he becomes completely faint/ unconscious. This condition first started when he was 19. Totally he has experienced 5 occasions in which he became suddenly unconscious- with no warning symptoms before that - after experiencing a strong feeling of stress, frustration, anger and emotional pressure. He says he once went to a doctor but doctor only advised him to stay away from stress!!
I'm so worried for him, so are my mom and dad. Please help me know if this condition is considered normal/abnormal. What is this condition likely to be? Is it a type of epilepsy or something? How can he avoid/ cure this condition at future.

Thank you so much for taking time to help me.

Regards,

Neg

Answer 1

This conditon is called "AKINETIC EPILEPSY". But it is not fits or any other serious ailment.It gradually disappears with age.Empathy is all that he needs.

Answer 2

This happens to me, but I have warning signals. Before white-out, I have either pain in the 2nd chakra area or a feeling of discomfort that I can't describe in words.
All I need to do is to find a place and sit down, better still, lying on bed until the discomfort disappears.
Emotional stress, repressed anger and hatred could be the cause.
Irregular heartbeat is the cause as well.

Meditation, physical exercises, and deep breathing exercises will help improve the situation. It all starts from a over-burdened mind. Cure the mind, the body is cured.
