I feel you Leslie.
this is vey common with some medicines and epilepsy generally. I’d be frank with your neurologist about your mood and wether medication is a factor. Maybe a change.
I’ve seen neuropsychiatrists, but I’d recommend a psychologist with an interest in chronic health issues, you can maybe write an email or note with the medications you’re taking and the form of epilepsy supply some Wikipedia links & describe your concerns & problems.

You’ll be fine, I think the main thing is be honest with practitioners & yourself. Not all of them but most will understand & give good advice

It’ll be ok Leslie! xx

The intersection here is very dangerous. A Yield sign was put up, and I think Elderly. However, drivers still do not pay attention. If you are using a cane, walker, or wheelchair, you are not going to cross the street quickly. Drivers do not pay attention to Pedestrians

If you feel the medications are making you depressed or suicidal contact the Neurologist or Epileptologist about it.

I would agree wholeheartedly about finding a therapist familiar with the effects epilepsy and how its meds can impact our psyche. This would be especially important for the psychiatrist if they want to prescribe an antidepressant, because they would have to know about any interactions with the seizure meds you’re on.

However, if you’re first looking for a therapist to talk to, they may have to do a little research on their own in order to adequately help you. And that is totally fine—they should want to help you to the best of their ability, so they will need to put in a little work! You may just need to make sure they’re willing to do it, so a little trial and error may be involved.

Neither therapy, nor a single therapist is ever one size fits all. But I definitely recommend it for dealing with all the depression and anxiety that can be caused by the meds, and by the epilepsy itself!

I’ve fine with my meds
