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.

I could be wrong but I don't ever remember having a problem with anx or dep.

Most seizure medication are also used for anxiety, depression and other such disorders but I know that some ppl still have anxiety and are usually prescribed Ativan as a as/when medication

I think depression and anxiety comes with epilepsy
