[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 69340, member: 1498"] I've come to the conclusion that unless someone is having petite mal (absence) or grand mal (tonic-clonic) seizures, most neurologists won't treat epilelpsy even if something abnormal does show in an EEG. And it is estimated that only 50% of temporal lobe epilepsy shows up on EEGs. I only got treatment for my slightly abnormal EEG because I was having grand mals. They couldn't blow those off. My guess is that they think that partial seizure activity isn't serious enough to treat. What happens then is that psychiatrist end up treating the resulting behaviors as "mental illnesses" and prescribe medications more likely to make things worse than better. To the best of my knowledge, neurological testing like EEGs and MRIs aren't normally a part of neuropsychologist testing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
