Beautifully said Carolyn and I couldn't agree more. It has crossed my mind that perhaps a new antidepressant for me is actually NOT the answer for me. And this is despite a truly awful panic d/o and PTSD of long standing from childhood (I am now 68). I have read lots on PTSD...and discovered that persistent, chronic childhood trauma(s) are extremely difficult to overcome. In my case it was continuous emotional neglect throughout my formative years. And this affected ever single adult decision I made in my life, continuing my trauma marrying an abusive man. The very abnormal becomes normal. Until you truly see what is in front of you. But the mind & body pay an horrific long life price.
And you are so right...seizures are not simply epilepsy in nature. So glad you became aware of this & a medication management specialist sounds like you are more than advocating for yourself.
I wish you all the best as well.
