It depends on the person’s Epilepsy . Everyone is different. Behavioral is can vary on where the seizure activity is located, causing the behavior change. T

Then there are the medications with the side effects of causing the person’s behavior change.

It depends on so many factors, after having dealt with epilepsy since 1965. Great articles here; nice people too! Hope it helps 💜
