Oh, and for what it's worth, my husband has epilepsy AND bipolar (thought he hasn't asked the psychiatrist for an official diagnosis in that area) -- although it's hard to say if his seizures were affecting his mood in any way because of the type they were. But I CAN say without a doubt that his anticonvulsant medication improved his mood tremendously. He would probably benefit from something more, but overall, his manic and depressive symptoms are much, much improved!
