I’ve been told that I have schizophrenia before, although I don’t take anything for it. I do have bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety in addition to my epilepsy.

I have schizophrenia. When the temporal lobes are affected, it causes schizophrenia and deppression.

Hi,Randysherman, I was put in detention at school when ever I had a seizure, sometimes I was in there for days without any food or drink, all I got was a Valium injection to shut me up. I know that was in the past so I try and put it behind me and look forwards to the future to make myself feel better, Take care. 🌷
