I wouldn't be surprised if there was a connection but don't know because I'm not a doctor. With me having seizures for more than 50 years I have to say that it is likely that epilepsy has become part of my core personality. Without it I'm not sure who I'd be as it has impacted all aspects of my life.

I also have a history of chronic long term mild to moderate depression, which sounds similar to dysthmia, although I've never been disgnosed with it and certainly can't diagnose anyone with it.

I just hope you get it all figured out with your doctor, and I hope they can help give you some relief and make you feel better. I do know what having epilepsy since childhood is like and it is devastating. I'm real sorry you have to deal with that. Wishing you a seizure free day!
