Post Additional Resource Information and Specifics

Déjà vu is very common with those with
TLE (Temporal Lobe Epilepsy)

Quote:
Psychic phenomena


* Patients may have a feeling of déjà vu or jamais vu, a sense of familiarity or unfamiliarity, respectively.

* Patients may experience depersonalization (ie, feeling of detachment from oneself) or derealization (ie, surroundings appear unreal).

* Fear or anxiety usually is associated with seizures arising from the amygdala. Sometimes, the fear is strong, described as an "impending sense of doom."

* Patients may describe a sense of dissociation or autoscopy, in which they report seeing their own body from outside.

* Autonomic phenomena are characterized by changes in heart rate, piloerection, and sweating. Patients may experience an epigastric "rising" sensation or nausea.
