I have Epilepsy : Absence Seizure and Rage Attacks ? 10 points !?!


Question: I have Epilepsy : Absence Seizure and Rage Attacks ? 10 points !?
I'm 16 years old.
I have temporal lobe epilepsy : in this type of epilepsy you don't get fits where you move uncontrollably and stuff.
Although, strange visual and auditory hallucinations can occur sometimes (similar to schizophrenic ones)

For about a month, I've been having terrible rage attacks : I get mad really fast, sometimes for no particular reasons. Sometimes, I even start puching my wall and I don't even realize I'm actually doing it. I get bad bruising afterwards. And when I start to cry ... I can literally cry for 3 or 4 hours. There's really no reason. It's kind of stupid.

My psychiatrist told me today that I get absence seizures. My mom also told me today that it's been happening for quite some time. I never bloody knew !!!
It was a shock to me, but also a relief ... sometimes, in class or when I'm talking to my boyfriend, my mind just goes blank : I stop talking in the middle of a sentence for 10 seconds and just go "uhhh... uhhh"
In class I get terrible concentration problems. And the fact that you can get 40 absence seizures in just 30 minutes explains it !

What can I do ? For the rage and absence seizures ?

Help !

Answers:

The ONLY thing you can do is sit down and have a long discussion with your doctor about this. By the way, I am not sure why you reference a "psychiatrist". It sounds to me like you should be seeing a Neurologist.
