I am new to this site, but I need help!!!! My daugther is 12, she just start
ed having seizures 16 monthes ago. First they told me that it was complex migrains, then they said that it was complex partial seizures, and now they are trying to tell me that she is depressed and that is why she is having seizures. Now they are not even taking it very seriosly anymore. She is still having the seizures. What do I do now?
Hi I just posted the links below to "No Shame" in another thread. Some of the conditions that cause seizures, whether or not they are "eilepsy" run in families.
The most common misdiagnosis is of cardiac disorders which can also affect behavior and mental states. Do a lot of looking around and try to find a dr who will look for the cause of the seizures, not just label them as "mental" or even as "epilepsy" because the drugs for those conditions could make any unrecognized problem much worse.
