TAKE CONTROL TODAYCan anyone tell me what are the criteria for differentiatiating a sz from a manic episode, I was diagnosed a bipolar for years and given ineffective meds but now my new psychiatrist says the spells which I thought was just shaking with "fear " were really SPs. I remember these shaking spells afterwards and dont lose consciousness during them but when they finish there are a few seconds when there are NO thoughts in my head and all my thoughts are very slow motion for the fisrt few minutes.when they occur again . Also she says the episodes of rage or manic behavior ar too short in duration to be real mania which supposedly goes on for days. But EEg said I was normal. Cat scan however showed min rt temporal oobe. Some body please please give me feedback on this. Corinna in Florida cmichal427@yahoo.com. Also took NEPPE INSET questionnaire and doc says my responses indicate TLE.
