Suggest Treatment For Seizures

My son has been having what I would call seizures and I cant get his doctors to say that to get him to control them I guess. He has had two vehicle accidents for blacking out and not remembering anything, and one injuried his future wife in the accident. I love my son but what can I do before he really hurts somebody bad?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. He fails to remember what happened during episodes and also met accident two times so most likely he is losing consciousness during episodes and has Generalised seizures though proper evaluation is needed to make diagnosis. First advise I would like to give is that he should completely avoid driving as this may harm him badly. For seizures visit a neuropsychiatrist for help. Get his EEG done to rule out seizures focus if any. Medicines like Sodium Valproate, Carbamazepine, Phenytoin etc are commonly used drugs for seizures and these drugs can control seizures effectively. Please visit a doctor for expert help.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
