Epilepsy, Anxiety and Depression worry and stress can affect.

Epilepsy.
This may not be epilepsy, if not what is it?
     It may well be Anxiety panic attacks.
Why come back after twenty years?
Why haven't felt well for the last mouth?
Headaches, shakes and the room moving round and round.
The tablets cure one thing and bring another thing on.
I feel shaky and tired. 
I am not looking forward to a brain scan, flashing lights and electric stick glue wires in my hair. 
It's like a big storm inside my head.
It causes your nerves to be bad mainly when you have waiting to see if you pass or fail. 2001 onwards.
About Epilepsy.

The risk of post-traumatic seizures increases with severity of trauma (image at right) and is particularly elevated with certain types of brain trauma such as cerebral contusions or hematomas.[22] As many as 50% of people with penetrating head injuries 

will develop seizures.[20] People with early seizures, those occurring within a week of injury, have an increased risk of post-traumatic epilepsy (recurrent seizures occurring more than a week after the initial trauma).[23] Generally, medical professionals use anticonvulsant medications to treat seizures in TBI patients within the first week of injury only [24] and after that only if the seizures persist.
Emotional and behavioural problems [edit]
TBI may cause emotional or behavioural problems and changes in personality.[15] Emotional symptoms that can follow TBI include emotional instability, depression, anxiety, hypomaniamania, apathy, irritability, and anger.[9] TBI appears to predispose a person to psychiatric disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, alcohol or substance abuse or substance dependencedysthymia,clinicaldepressionbipolar disorderphobiaspanic disorder, and schizophrenia.[16] About one quarter of people with TBI suffer from clinical depression, and about 9% suffer mania.[17] The prevalence of all psychiatric illnesses is 49% in moderate to severe TBI and 34% in mild TBI within a year of injury, compared with 18% of controls.[18] People with TBI continue to be at greater risk for psychiatric problems than others even years after an injury.
Problems that may persist for up to two years after the injury include irritability, suicidal, insomnia, and loss of the ability to experience pleasure from previously enjoyable experiences.[17]
Behavioural symptoms that can follow TBI include disinhibition, inability to control anger, impulsiveness, and lack of initiative, inappropriate sexual activity, and changes in personality.[9] Different
 behavioural problems are characteristic of the location of injury; for instance, frontal injuries often result in disinhibition and inappropriate or childish behaviour, and temporal lobe injuries often cause irritability and aggression.[19]
