Yes. I saw a therapist for two years and look forward to getting in with another to deal with deeper issues in the future.
Yes. I have been with mental health for a while. My counselor(s) all have said that I should become one due to my ability to cope. I still see one for different reasons other than just seizures. To much to discuss here.
Yes, I hesitantly started talking with a Psychologist for anxiety and the blues, weight and some paranoia concerning the seizures. An Invisible condition that has caused stigma from others and myself. It's been a good experience, opening up, talking about life with someone you don't know. I rarely leave an appt not feeling better than when I arrived. It's worth trying in my opinion.
Good luck, Brent
There was a time I saw a Neuropsychologist which helped to some degree.
