Yes, it has since my left temporal lobe surgery in 2012.

has your surgery helped to control your seizures? How have you been managing lately? Best wishes, Julie (team member)

My seizures were scary before I knew the cause was a physical problem of brain function just epilepsy. Never got depressed knew I'd be fine after seizure passed..Happy we had meds to avoid any uncontrolled seizures. Still am 52yrs later as well

I become "crazy" after a seizure not knowing where I am, what day it is, becoming scared, depressed, and such weird feelings that I can't even explain.
