See a psychiatrist.: You do have a lot of symptoms that begs going to see a psychiatrist to sort out. All of the symptoms could trigger each other and you have to be careful that whatever medications you will be prescribed does not trigger your epilepsy.

See a psychiatrist: Mood disorders such as major depression and bipolar disorder are often coexistence with anxiety disorders. Risk factors for bipolar disorder include a personal history of mania, a family history of bipolar disorder, early onset depression, inadequate response to multiple antidepressants and/or a paradoxical response to antidepressants.
