Q: My Girlfriend Has Seizures. Doctors Say It's Mental. Help.

My girlfriend ihas had a history of seizure. She just blanks out and shakes violently, kicking away. She also said her hands tend to go numb and she normally doesn’t remember most of it. While the doctors have said there is nothing wrong with her physically and that it is just a mental condition, I can't help but bring up the fact that the doctors here in nepal have a strong history of incompetence. What could it be? Are there any tests she should do to find out?

Hello
I have epilepsy and have lived with in for about 23 years now and I can only think that maybe at some point she had some form of head injury. This was what happened to me as this is the only possible cause for my epilepsy. I have had a mri, c scan, you name it and the only thing that was with me was some scar tissue on my noodle. Hope this helps.

Seizures
Seizures are not caused by anything but a blockage in the brain from substancial brain injury or it could also run in someones family there is no reason for the doctors in nepal to say it is mental because there is a neurological problem which like I said at the top is cause by some sort of trauma to the head its not because she has mental incapablities so do let that discourage her from seeking help in another doctors office and actually getting those things under control I have llived witrh epilepsy myself for 13 years and I am only 24 years old so I know how it feels to be told by incompetent doctors that they don't know what is wrong with me.
