DID PETIT MAL SEIZURES CA– USE MY PANIC? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness DID PETIT MAL SEIZURES CA– USE MY PANIC? Question: When I was 8-10 yrs. old, I was diagnosed with petit mal (typical).  I took medication and then eventually grew out of it.  I no longer have the seizures.  I’m 24 years old and started having anxiety and panic attacks.  I’m scared I might go into depression or turn into a schizophrenic.  Does this have anything to do with me having epilepsy before?  What are my chances of getting my seizures again?  Who do I go to seek help?  I’m currently going through counseling for my panic attacks.  Do I need to see a neurologist?Thank you for taking the time to read my question. Dr. Heller’s Answer: First of all you won’t “turn schizophrenic.”  It’s also unlikely that you’ll get petit mal seizures again.Panic is likely a form of epilepsy (nerve cells firing inappropriately and out of control), so you might be more susceptible.Your personal physician or a psychiatrist can treat you medically for your panic attacks. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?
