Anxiety more commonly gives rise to seizure-like activity called pseudoseizures (without the incontinence or post-ictal period, for instance). This can occur in those individuals already vulnerable to true seizures.

Are epileptics more stressed in general and do they deal with stress less constructively?

Not necessarily. There are all sorts of causes for seizures. Stress can be one of those. If someone has seizures that are not caused by stress, then they won't have a problem with that. People may get stressed because they have seizures, while for other people the fact that they have seizures doesn't worry them and they lead perfectly normal lives. The only thing they need to do is keep taking their medication and avoid their triggers for seizures.


Do seizures kill the gerbil?

Can a seizure cause anger?

No. There are many causes for epilepsy. Some people may have seizures when they are under pressure or stressed, but that does not mean that they will always get a seizure when they are stressed, which could include being angry. For others, stress would have absolutely no effect on them in terms of causing them to have a seizure.


Can flying cause a seizure?

Epilepsy has a wide variety of forms, causes and severity. Most people with epilepsy would have absolutely no problem with flying. For some people stress can cause seizures. If someone was very stressed about flying, they could get a seizure, but it would be the stress, not the flying itself that causes them to have a seizure. So you can say that flying does not cause seizures.
