Epileptic fits being no more than a mood swing under stress? Is this possible?
Sun, 12/12/2004 - 18:09My psychiatrist has told me that i have epilepsy, caused by severe depression after I was attacked in the street and suffered harrasment when i lived in a different city. I have never had an epileptic seizure, but am depressed a lot of the time and i can become angry and distressed when someone is truly and heavily rude or dishonest to me (i will shout at them and cry). My doctor also gave me medication for my depression (Tegretol) which caused two hallucinations. I reported the hallucinations and the psychiatrist said that they were a direct indicator of epilepsy. I am forced to think that this is a diagnosis caused by negligence, but he said that epileptic seizures can also be just a mood swing while someone is being nasty to you. Is this possible?

Gentlewings, It seems you owe an apology to Jude. Please read his original post again. He states in the beginning of his post that it is his own opinion. His opinion makes a lot of sense. He never claims to be a medical professional. Again....he states it is his own opinion. What set you off? Kaayla
