Yes, especially: stress, worry, panic, anxiety and overexcitement.

Forgot to mention as well, being around negative people can cause seizures. I have a college friend for 30+ years. I'm almost at the point of telling him that I can't handle his negative discussions anymore, educating him on seizures and emotions. His mother died last year, leaving him alone for the 1st time in his life. No longer a smile in his discussions. I have another close friend that I educated her on negativism and epilepsy. She understood and we are still close friends....and no more negative attitude! A pleasure to speak with now. I hope this helps.

I do feel like seizures are linked to emotions. When I'm happy nice and relaxed I don't have any... When I was stressed I would've had one.
It was only stress that made me have seizures...
