thank you so much for that posting on temporal lobe epilepsy. it turns out my friend has been feeling dissociated from reality temporarily with other senses being affected, spells have been frequent (twice a day now) and happening for a long time (over 10 years) though getting worse recently, interfere with verbal memory, triggered by light, and he feels tired afterwards. i don't know about automatic motor movements, but am asking, if he can remember.
he is going to an eye hospital in a few months. i presume i also advise that he see an epilepsy specialist?
thank you so much for this hint. he was worried that he was going mad (schizophrenia), and although the possibility of TLE is hardly good news, i am sure he will be relieved nevertheless.
