For me, the condition did not add to my anxiety. I had learned how to deal with it. I still have that diagnosis. That was a good thing though because when I moved out of my area and to school, I was allowed to take my cat with me. Then with crazy, lazy classmate that I was assigned for a project, the anxiety kicked up really bad. I had a major issue. I used this learning example as a way to teach the entire class about the epilepsy and what we deal with. I have another project today and I am more focused on how to keep the anxiety down and succeed at the video. Never giving up! Ten years seizure-free with the brain surgery. Going for my Masters degree.

I do not know when the anxiety crept in. What they call anxiety is my looking ahead of something to happen. Foresight.

No. My anxiety & depression may fluctuate, but not due to my meds or any of my medical issues, it's just how I've learned over a lifetime to deal with things.

I agree with what the AI said, but the doctors I've had so far vehemently say "NO!" or at best say it's very rare and shouldn't even give it a thought.
