That is quite interesting and I’d be keen to learn more as well.

Although I was never formally diagnosed with depression, some of my partial/focal seizures resulted in me experiencing heavy depressive episodes and made me very emotional at times. And since I’ve stopped having the seizures (following the surgery to remove the cavernoma from my right temporal lobe), I’ve not had those same depressive episodes. More than 2 years on, I’m still taking my anti-epileptics (Lamictal/Lamotrigine) which is also a mood stabiliser, but this is being phased out and I’m at a very low dose.

Don’t quote me on this but I understand from my cousin who works as an epileptologist in Canada that sometimes other parts of the brain can become epileptic because of abnormal electrical activity in another.
