You might want to look up Temporal Lobe Epilepsy too.
Neuro-psychiatrists are finding that symptoms can be the same as depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. It is a seizure disorder, characterized by mini-brain electrical events, rather than the "typical" epileptic petit-mal or grand-mal seizures.
You will find that there are various tests, but you might need to ask for a referral to a neurologist.
Treatment modalities may remain the same, with anti-psychotics, but also with anti-seizure/anti-convulsant drugs too.
Otherwise, as Justin says, whether it's an organic or chemical (or electrical) problem, treating the symptoms is the most important issue.
Good luck!
