Bipolar is treated with several kinds of anti-seizure medicine. does this mean bipolar is a seizure illness? functional or epileptic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bipolar and epilepsy: So far there is no strong evidence that bipolar disease is caused by a part of your brain having seizures. Nonetheless many patients with epilepsy have also mood disorders including bipolar. The response to anti-seizure medication (to treat bipolar symptoms) is not restricted the persons who have the diagnosis of epilepsy.
