My younger sister has epilepsy, my mom and my sister's father are divorced. When my sister is at her dad's house she experiences many more seizures (according to him) then she does when she is with us. She has said that she is sometimes locked in her room and the alarm goes off, and other similiar situations. I was wondering, could anxiety or fear cause her to have more seizures then she normally would?
Thanks in advance :)
yea i am 33 years old and was diagnosed with what he said was seizure disorder.so anyway i did not understand his diag nosis.but then i started thinking and everytime i have had a seizure i was totally stressed out or in a stressful situation..so it is true then? that anxiety can cause you to have seizures? im doing alot better since the dr put me on klonipin.but you know klonipin is slow acting see i also suffer from social anxiety disorder so i fear even going to the grocerie store.but now it has gotten better but i think i need to also have something faster acting.you know just in case i get caught up in a bad situation
my anxiety and depression caused my seizures. the best idea is to avoid stress and to calm yourself down if you have anxiety. i could actually tell a minute before a seizure because i got pins and needles in my right leg. each attack would make me have about 3 -5 episodes. happened about every two months. a good idea idea to help you progress and possibly stop you from having seizures is to consult a doctor AND a psychiatrist. a personally recommended pill you might want to ask the psychiatrist is called "Citalopram".

Interesting to note that if there is a relationship between stress and seizure that it seems to happen at the time of the stress. My 11 year old step daughter has just been diagnosed with seizure disorder. She has had 3 seizures all at her mother's house. Her mother is blaming stress but is hinting that it is stress caused by being at our house. None of the seizures have happened here and we are wondering how high her stress level is at home with her mom. In any case, there has to be counseling available to children with stress and anxiety. Divorced parents must come together for the sake fo their child.
Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain function that cause changes in attention or behavior. They are caused by abnormally excited electrical signals in the brain. A psychotheraphy techniques are used to relieve Stress And Anxiety in the patient.
