There’s always been a suspicion of the possible ties between epilepsy and schizophrenia.
But now, research has shown that schizophrenia and epilepsy are linked in both directions.
Just as epilepsy is called “a storm in the brain,” psychosis might be viewed as “a lightning strike” to the brain.
Both have to do with havoc in the brain, but one’s a neurological issue and the other is a mental illness.
Totally different ballgames, right?
Maybe not, says new research which focuses on the genetic connection.
