Epileptic fits being no more than a mood swing under stress? Is this possible?

England has a very good knowledge base for Epilepsy so I would really seek a neurologist or a medical doctor concerning this. You may have epilepsy and you may not but at least give yourself the option of finding out for sure. I will pray for you.

Karolwf,the knowledge base is better, no doubt of that, just it could be better than it is. This means for Skyscape there might well be a problem in getting a proper diagnosis due to 'funding' issues still. The new NICE guidelines are out that give a different view than mine of what still needs to be done ?

I'm sorry Skyscape about that believe me. I wish you luck with this, I really do. I can only suggest that you go visit your GP and tell them how you feel, and ask them to refer you to your local consultant. I realise that your psychiatrist will be unwilling to confer with the consultant-as they don't believe in crossing into each other's specialised field, but your GP should be able to help round that one in their referral letter. I realise there might be a wait-quite a lengthy one to get into see one, and if you can-will you mail me about this and fill me in on what's happening for you?
