I have no special knowledge in this area, but I suspect that when neurologists finally figure out what happens in at least some of the "mental illnesses" we'll discover that seizures play a more important role than we now realize. Perhaps a different type of seizure than we now understand. The mood stabilizers, Klonopin, all are anti-epileptics. And on a purely subjective level, some elements of my mood cycling transitional stages and my OCD feel oddly seizure-like.
I'm not really explaining myself well, and I may be completely off base. My thoughts are more intuitive than logical at this point. So if all scientific research shows my theory to be wrong, I won't be at all offended.
