Anxiety
Before a seizure caused by epilepsy occurs, many people often feel anxious or depressed. This would be a symptom itself or a signal that some other signs are going to happen. Depending on the type and intensity, patients would have a sense of doom, fear, or intense anxiety. In fact, up to 25 percent of epilepsy cases have this mental issue. If left untreated or unnoticed in an extended period, anxiety would reduce the overall quality of life. Even worse, it affects your health and makes it harder or longer to recover from epilepsy. [5]
