A member asked:

Could use your help docs! a friend recently stopped self harming and started to get seizures. i was wondering if they could have any remote connection?

Dr. Eric Weisman answered

Specializes in Neurology

Yes: This will require a referral to an epilepsy center more than likely. Video eeg to capture a seizure and see what is going on electrically is in order.
