Having suffered from severe febrile seizures (my parents were told when I was 4 that if I had one more as severe as my final seizure I'd be brain dead) as a child and now recently being diagnosed at age 19 with mild aspergers and severe ADHD.
I was wondering if you think there is correlation to mental disorders such as my own with childhood seizures as well as the medication that treats such seizures, including in my own experience a form of methamphetamines and Epilim until the age of 8 which since being diagnosed I've discovered are also used in the treatment of ADHD.
I'm not looking for medical advice or a diagnosis for how I ended up with severe ADHD with no family history of the disorder, but rather am just curious if there is a correlation between childhood seizures and the medication used for treatment of said seizures and the development of mental disorders as a whole.
