I'm doing this discussion so it makes members aware that these two illnesses are identical and I myself was diagnosed a Paranoid Schizophrenic at 18, after years of meds and steroid injections was then sent to a brain surgeon who did extensive tests and told me I had Temporal-lobe epilepsy as it's rare but an identical illness.

Through all the medications I took for years besides steroid injections and psychiatric hospitals, they caused me brain damage to the right side of my brain... through over balancing the hormones of the brain.

So if your ever unsure of your diagnosis, ask for that second opinion
