Hi,
Yes, as I understand it and there is a connection between womens cycles and having seizures, too. This is JUST NOW being studied. If you want I will try to find the reference to the study. I think in some people, mental illness is a seizure disorder, and that, perhaps, epilepsy is a very broad term. I am coming to understand the symptoms of mental illness as actually symptoms of other illness. In other words, someone who is defined as mentally ill actually has an underlying biophysicological problem. The real challenge, is there can often be multiple problems, like a giant complex game of pick up sticks. So, there is no easy answer to something that affects us everyday.
