When someone's behavior
Submitted by epihelp on Sat, 2018-02-03 - 16:14
When someone's behavior changes after they have had a seizure that was different than usual or they had a change in medicines or something like that, insist that he see his doctor treating the epilepsy. It may not be related at all, but best to check this out. If it's not due to epilepsy, seeing a primary care is important to rule out other sudden causes of behavior change. Regardless of the cause, a person should seek help from a counselor or mental health specialist. It's important to address all causes, find more effective and safe ways of coping. And everyone in a relationship should feel safe - if you are not safe, get help for both of you! Take care,,,,
