> I have no special knowledge in this area, but I suspect that when neurologists finally figure out what happens in at least some of the "mental illnesses" we'll discover that seizures play a more important role than we now realize. Perhaps a different type of seizure than we now understand. The mood stabilizers, Klonopin, all are anti-epileptics. And on a purely subjective level, some elements of my mood cycling transitional stages and my OCD feel oddly seizure-like.

I think you are onto something, too. Whenever I get hypomanic I have a lot of symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy. It is also interesting to find that benzos like clonazepam and lorazepam work as good or better as antimanic agents (for me) than antipsychotics do.
