Q: Blackouts, Memory Loss-How Related to BP
blackouts and severe memory loss, how are they related to bipolar,
including 'possible temperal lobe
seizures.
Dear Judy --
Yes, related. How, don't know. Can some people with temporal lobe
seizures, documented by EEG, have "bipolar"-like symptoms?
Yes. Can some people with bipolar symptoms have abnormalities in their
temporal lobe EEG readings, that are not abnormal enough to be called
"temporal lobe epilepsy"? Yes. What does this
mean? uh, that's a good question.
Dr. Phelps
PS. Fortunately we use the same medications to
treat both. Probably not a coincidence, eh?
