My son asked "What is going on with me?"

Thu, 04/30/2020 - 17:48
Hi I am new to the forum. As a parent of 15year old boy, I am scared to death for him. During this pandemic month, my 15 years old son got his 1st seizure. He was taking a nap, and while waking up he got seizure. We are scared for him and for his future. He is very brilliant and very intelligent kid. Looking for some positive and motivational comments which can help us. We have started medication, but want to get some expert opinion about how to help him.

Thank you Gianna, for sharing your motivational story. The doctor already switch my son's medication, hopefully this will work. I am just worried about the mood and behaviour changes, considering he is a teen it is hard to discuss with him and due to the lockdown he is not able to see/talk to him friends as much either.

Are you still on medication?
