A member asked:
My brother has epilepsy since a child and still has seizures, can his schizophrenia cause them?? he's 28 should he still have seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and yes: seizures and schizophrenia are two distinct brain disorders and one does not cause the other. very often we cannot find a cause for either, and both conditions are often life long. Best wishes for your family
