Suggest treatment for seizure disorder where the patient talks to oneself, hears and sees things
Patient: I am having seizures but they are not epileptic what kind would they be? My Dr is having an Epileptic EEG test ordered for me but I don t want the epileptic test ordered. I want the test ordered for the other kind of seizures . I also have MS. Do you think that an EEG hour and a half is long enough to determine what is wrong or long enough to make a dx. I am having seizures where I stare for 4 to 5 min. I talk to myself I hear things and see things. I talk to my self and then I pass out for 5-6 min. I shake pretty severely sometimes. What is the kind of seizure test I need to have? My tongue is not coming out of my mouth, it is not epileptic. Right? Please help me I am very scared. I am 38 and I live with my mother. I need to be able to live on my own. I used to be a branch manager of a Library District and the program manager. I have a 17 yr. old son and I want to be a mom! I cant be living in fear of having dissociative disorders, hallucinations, psychotic like episodes. Please help me. My name is XXXX: YYYY@YYYY , 000.000.0000 Doctor: Hi, I am Dr Mittal.
