Ich frage mich in wie weit meine Persönlichkeit betroffen sein kann ,ich hatte vorher schon PTBS

A MyEpilepsyTeam Subscriber asked a question 💭

Also seit 2021 status epilepticus, der erste Anfall dauert einen Abend und die ganze Nacht bis zum nächsten Nachmittag, da wurde ich erst gefunden. Der notarzt meinte 10 Minuten länger und ich wäre gestorben. Vier Tage im Wachkoma, Gott sei Dank ohne " Schäden " wach geworden. Seitdem immer wieder Anfälle gehabt bis Ende 2022, ( glaube ich) seit dem mit Medikamenten eingestellt.

How can status epilepticus affect personality and behavior?

Status epilepticus can lead to changes in behavior, learning, and memory, especially when it affects the developing brain. Research shows that people who survive status epilepticus may experience significant changes in these areas.

The impact can be particularly concerning because during status epilepticus, neurons can be destroyed, potentially leading to permanent brain injury. This type of prolonged seizure activity puts the brain under extreme stress.

Children whose brains are still developing appear to be especially affected by these changes. However, adults can also experience behavioral and cognitive shifts after surviving such a serious event.

It's important to note that you mentioned waking up without apparent damage, which is encouraging. However, subtle changes in personality, mood, or thinking patterns can sometimes emerge over time and may not be immediately obvious.

If you're noticing changes in your personality or behavior since your status epilepticus episode, it's worth discussing with your healthcare team. They can help assess whether these changes are related to your seizure history and work with you on appropriate support strategies.
