Seizures and mood disorders?
Fri, 04/10/2015 - 17:08I was diagnosed with epilepsey when I was 10 years old it took my family and doctors forever to figure out what my trigger was (we found out this last year that my trigger was seasonal allergies between April and October) when I was in middle and high school I struggled with anxiety and depression (I still do) my teachers would say "you don't have anxiety you need a doctor's note verifying that you have anxiety." (When in reality I don't think you do, do you?) last May it got so bad they finally put me on an antidepressant. I've always been interested in how seizures and mood disorders go together does anyone know the answer to that?
