Temporal lobe epi: Many people with temporal lobe epilepsy have partial onset seizures or complex partial seizures. Many people with this condition can be successfully treated with medication, such as lamotrigine or levetiracetam. People who cannot be treated well with medication may find it possible to obtain relief with epilepsy surgery.

Hi there. I have temporal lobe epilepsy, and when it was diagnosed, I was told that it can be treated by either a neurologist or a psychiatrist, as they are both qualified to do so. Is that correct?
