Ive had time to think through those diagnosis and come to a realzation that my seizure like events may have always been puedo due to a tramatic event I sustained at age 15. Im wondering how i bring up my thoughts on this matter to a doctor? Do I talk with my neruologist or my psychiatrist?

How does it differ from epilepsy treatment plan?

I’m always tired and I want to know if it’s because of my epilepsy medicines.

I'm having forgetfulness. I have partial complex epilepsy. I now have been having frequent " focal/dissociative," I am not sure what to do. Is this for my psychiatrist or neurologist? How can I get this straightened out?
