That's the one question I forgot to ask my neurologist today. The disruptions in signaling pathways must be similar in bipolar and epilepsy for anticonvulsants to be effective in both. While waiting for the doc I was reading in an epilepsy publication about depression and suicide rates being higher in those with epilepsy. They made it sound like the depression was due to losses related to quality of life. Noa, as far as familial connections I don't have a clue. He's sending me for a prolonged EEG next week.
Blessings,
