hi there, my almost 6 year old daughter was diagnosis with epilepsy at 2 years old. She has temporal lobe onset seizures that are caused by a lesion on her brain. Last year, she had brain surgery to help control the seizures. She has been doing okay seizure wise, but has not become seizure free.
We are seeing such unusual behavior from her. She seems spacey, hyper, unfocused, restless, agitated, has irrational thinking, is aggressive, impuslsive, etc. I am so sad right now for her and for us. Epilepsy does cause behavioral problems in some children. We are due to see the neurologist in a couple of weeks and she will have an EEG to see if there is abnormal brain waves.
Can anyone help? She is so ADHD'ish. Strategies anything you can advise that might help?
I am so worried right now.
