Q. About ten years ago I was using speed for a yeas straight. When I stopped I
started getting seizures and I was also diagnosed as Bi-polar .It does run
on my fathers side. Anyways I recently found out that I do not have true
seizures. I believe they are called false seizures. I was told people who have
been abused or molested some times have them. I was molested when I was
younger. thru I must have booked it out because I started having flash backs
around the same time as I got the seizures and bi-polar.
A. Whether you were or were not molested, it is probably not the cause of the
seizures. I think (and pray) that this ridiculous theory died out years ago.
Pseudoseizures (the medical name for your false seizures) are invariably
related to other psychiatric problems. Get a psychiatric evaluation, see what
else is going on, and get treated. Hopefully, the pseudoseizures and other
problems will all go away.
