Hello amkect64@amkect64! I have never heard of seizures causing suicidal ideations like you describe. But then many different behaviors are manifested by seizures I also have temporal lobe epilepsy and have had deja' vu auras preceding them. My neurologist says temporal lobes seizures can be preceded by auras like this. Double vision and suicidal ideations are side effects of many anti-seizure medicines. The suicidal feelings are a rare side effect of the medication that doctors often do not know about. I was the first patient many doctors ever saw who exhibited these side effects, I researched the medications and saw that I was exhibiting rare side effects. As a nurse this should be easy for you. The stigma surrounding epilepsy will just effect the psychiatrist's opinions. You certainly have epilepsy!
