A member asked:
Could epilepsy make someone absent minded?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some seizures are quite subtle and you may not be aware that you are having them. One possible manifestation might be memory loss. However, there may be other reasons for absentmindedness which may or may not be seizure related.
