In reply to seizures and bipolar disorder, posted by Lilynoobab on March 4, 2004, at 3:38:26
> Hi, I'd like to know if a person who has been tested for epilepsy and the results were negative, if they still have seizures which are now controlled by medication being Lamictan, can this person possibly be bi-polar if they also suffer from extreme irritability, as well as headaches, outbursts which they deny were insulting or anything of that nature, moody, very up and down, sometimes has little control over problems, and sometimes takes control so well of problems, also stresses dramatically and loses it with me or other people or even with himself? I really need to know if these are symptoms of Bi-polar, and if not, what would you diagnose this as?
i wouldn't begin to guess at this, i would encourage this person to see a pdoc about this even if it's not it sounds like it's effecting his life in a not so great way. It could be bipolar but it could also be cyclothymia, or BPD. there seems to be a lot of cross-over in this area.
FWIW
B2c.
