I know that people who had seizures seemed more relaxed and happy after having a seizure... I think that is what gave them the idea of inducing seizures in people with depression (aka ECT). at least... thats what I heard...I'm not sure about the other...
Except that people talk about TLE personality at times (though that might be one of those disorders / terms that isn't used so much in recent years...)
