Epilepsy?
Sun, 01/11/2015 - 19:49Hi everyone,
I'm a 24yo male.
My symptoms "really" started 6 months ago. I started to have urine leakge+weird smells (not real).
They usually arrive at the same time, and I go blank inside at the moment. -- Then got tired, and usually go home because I really need rest.
Since 2 months, I have more episodes, some of them with diziness, headache, blurry vision, (vision deformation which i'im aware when it's happens that it's not real), loose of balance.
The days it will happens, usually I have few during the day, maybe for two, then I will have a bigger one. Then I will be "fine" for a day or two... And it startes again.
I first though I had some mental health problems, that I was loosing my mind because my behaviour definitely changed, I can have sudden fears for no reason, weird thoughts, or can be so so tired that I can't do much.
I went to see a psychologist, she said it's possible I have some anxiety due to some past experiences.
We have done some sessions -- and she told me I was fine.
-- I mean I have no reason to be anxious or depressed at the moment. Things are going pretty well for me.
-- Just as advice (I know I am seeing specialists for real diagnostics) :
HOW CAN I RECOGNISE IF SYMPTOMS ARE ANXIETY RELATED OR EPILEPSY RELATED?
