Nonepileptc seizures: Depression will not lead to true epilepsy, which causes seizures due to abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. But there is a phenomenon of nonepileptic seizures that can sometimes look like seizures, but is not due to frank electrical discharges but rather a manifestation of psychiatric diseases (usually a stress response but sometimes due to depression).
