I was correct, the neurologist we were seeing told my husband that my daughter was lying and should see a therapist since it was behavioral. None of her "episodes" showed on her eeg. But it isn't her personality to lie. At all. She is so happy, and sooooo sweet.

We have an appt next month with a psychologist, and next week with a new neurologist from a totally different practice.

The latest "issue".... She told me today she sees "bad pictures", not when she is sleeping. She couldn't give me an example other than bad, like monsters. Not anyone getting hurt or anything. She said they are ALWAYS bad.

She is completely aware they aren't real. Just random flashing bad images.

Her behavior is REALLY good. She has never hit, doesn't tease people, has fantastic manners. She is silly, and a bit flaky, but no aggression. She rarely is sad, and when she is, it lasts like 2 minutes, then she is back to her happy self. She is logical with dealing with things. Mature in some ways, and a goofy goober in other ways. I am so worried it is a mental issue.

At this point it really sounds more like complex partial seizures.

Even though it doesn't show on a EEG. But seeing a psychologist is
not a bad idea. Because the person can help her work through the symptoms
also.

It will be good for her to have someone besides the family to talk to about
it. And to talk to about other things. It honestly doesn't mean she is mental,
or bad.
Please keep us posted. And I hope you read my post on the first thread.

Read up on complex partial seizures, and please go to the epilepsy room here, and ask some questions.

Just ask what complex partial seizures are? Things like that, come back
often to read the answers. Ask them to be specific with answers.
