Q: Seizures brought on by anxiety

It has been diagnosed that my husband has seizures brought on by anxiety. Because they are seizures he can not drive or work. Anytime there is any kind of stress great or small he has a seizure. This has also put him in a deep depression. He has always been a very "It is my job to support my family" kind of guy and now he can't do so. I am doing what I can financially but money is really, REALLY tight. So this just makes his condition worse. I have never heard of anxiety causing seizures. Has anyone ever heard of this. They have run all kinds of tests on him. They thought it was epilepsy to start but the tests always come back negative for this. And the seizures always happen right after he gets "stressed out".

Anxiety and seizures
I have had the same problem for 20 yrs. Medications do not work. I am now going on disability due to this problem. I am just now correlating anxiety and seizures. I always have one AFTER the stress disapates. It is very distressing.
