[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 110497, member: 1498"] EEGs can rule in seizures but really can't rule them out. It is estimated that 50% of temporal lobe epilepsy does not show up on EEGs. My EEG showed "a little abnormal spiking but not enough to diagnose epilepsy" and my son's was "fine" in the words of his psychiatrist yet we both have/had temporal lobe seizures. I even had grand mal (tonic-clonic) seizures with my "slightly abnormal" EEG. And it's the temporal lobe the controls a lot of the senses and emotions. Partial seizures in the temporal lobe can cause behaviors that look nothing like the grand mal or petit mal seizures that most people think of when they think "seizure". In fact, they can cause behaviors that look very much like "mental illness". [/QUOTE]
