▲ 3 r/Epilepsy
Had a recent ER visit. After I was discharged, I went on MyChart to look through the summary. Looked back at my previous medical history, dating back to 2016 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy, and realized I had also been diagnosed with ADHD. Thing is, I’ve never been treated for this (no medication or therapy). I think it was glossed over because of my doctors trying to get my seizures under control.
I have a huge problem focusing, have trouble retaining instructions if they’re given to me vocally, and I rarely make rational decisions, but I’ve always attributed this to my epilepsy. Anyone else have ADHD and epilepsy? Im curious as to what treatment you have gone through or are currently doing.
