Beheading is often threatened if the government fails to heed the wishes of the hostage takers. Sometimes, the beheadings are videotaped and made available on the Internet. One of the most publicized of such executions was that of Nick Berg.Judicial execution is practiced in Iraq, but is generally carried out by hanging. Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has a criminal justice system based on Shariah law reflecting a particular state-sanctioned interpretation of Islam. Crimes such as rape, murder, apostasy, and sorcery are punishable by beheading. It is usually carried out publicly by beheading with a sword. A public beheading will typically take place around 9am. The convicted person is walked into the square and kneels in front of the executioner. The executioner uses a sword to remove the condemned persons head from his or her body at the neck with a single strike. After the convicted person is pronounced dead, a police official announces the crimes committed by the beheaded alleged criminal and the process is complete. The official might announce the same before the actual execution. This is the most common method of execution in Saudi Arabia.According to Amnesty International, at least 79 people were executed in Saudi Arabia in 2013. Foreigners are not exempt, accounting for "almost half" of executions in 2013. Syria
The Syrian government employs hanging as its method of capital punishment. However, the terrorist organisation known as the Islamic State, which controlled territory in much of eastern Syria, had regularly carried out beheadings of people.
Eight points recommended to explain the diagnosis to the person and their caregivers are:

Reasons for concluding they do not have epilepsy
What they do have (describe FND)
Emphasize they are not suspected of "putting on" the attacks, and the symptoms are not "all in their head"
There may be no triggering "stresses"
Maintaining factors
May improve after correct diagnosis
Caution that anticonvulsant drug withdrawal should be done in conjunction with their physician
Describe treatment to help regain control of symptomsPsychotherapy is the most frequently used treatment, which might include cognitive behavioral therapy or therapy to retrain the physical symptoms and allow the individual to regain control of the attacks (ReACT). There is also some evidence supporting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants.Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatments for PNES typically target fear avoidance and work to reattribute patients symptoms to psychosocial issues. Retraining and Control Therapy (ReACT)
ReACT, while new and understudied, has shown extremely promising outcomes for reduction of PNES episodes in pediatric patients. This therapy focuses on the idea that PNES are caused by a learned physical reaction or habit the body develops, similar to a reflex. ReACT aims to retrain the learned reaction (PNES episodes) by targeting symptom catastrophizing and restoring sense of control over symptoms. Prognosis
Though there is limited evidence, outcomes appear to be relatively poor with a review of outcome studies finding that two thirds of people with PNES continue to experience episodes and more than half are dependent on the Social Security program at three-year follow-up.
