Estella yes to learning to control anxiety to some extent maybe for some eliminate the need for meds. A real seizure whether Grand Mal of Petit seizure is a real disorder of the brain and requires meds for life. My Husband's brother has seizures from brigh lights and too much stimulation. Had them since a child and then a brain tumor. Not to say a seizure causes brain tumors just that in his case it was a sign. He has to takemeds daily or he will have another seizure. And they no longer put something like a tongue depressor in a seizure patiens mouth during the seizure so they don't bite their tongue. Their body quivers How strongly depends on the type. Some only have eye twitches or something minor like that. And an EEG yes will be able to diagnose seizures. The pseudo ones. They are just hard to describe. The patient displays all the symptoms. Learned behavior I don't know. I'm sure you've googled them? I think I will as I really don't know. Love phillipa
