My son had a couple episodes of postictal psychosis… Has this ever happened to anyone else? He has since quit drinking alcohol and has been relatively seizure free without a couple auras for the last nine months .
Dr said PP is quite common, because away in a few hours but it is scary
The mission of the Epilepsy Foundation is to lead the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures, and save lives.
