Hi,
From the history of your daughter, it does not seem to be a case of seizures. It sounds like a conversion disorder (Hysterical disorder). If the patient's activities between episodes is normal and she is not loosing her weight and appetite, then in my opinion she should be examined by a psychiatrist to confirm / rule out the possibility of a psychiatric disorder.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
