If my 13yrold's simple partial seizures are only "deja vu" and nothing else, does it need to be treated with medication? If it gets worse or expands out to a complex seizure, I can understand medication, but I am leary of using meds for something as simple and frequent deja vu. They make occur once a day without losing consciousness or other physical symptoms. She can talk, do things with her hands and even "will" the annoying reminiscence feeling away withing 2 seconds. They are infrequent if she is well rested and well-fed. If teens outgrow this anyway, what benefit would there be to the meds?
Thank you,
