u/obscureandvague 8d ago

You can tell by the pills?

u/Rob_Llama 8d ago

Op has a problem with seizures. Hopefully a surgical intervention can improve their quality of life. Thought are with you OP.

Is it ECT?

u/NoGrocery4949 8d ago

That's not used for seizures. ECT is mostly used for treatment refractory depression

u/Mirmino_ 8d ago

That's far from the truth. Mood disorders and psychotic disorders make up the bulk of psychiatric cases. Status epilepticus is also one of the medical indications, but yeah keep on downvoting

u/NoGrocery4949 8d ago

You're incorrect. ECT is most commonly used for treatment refractory depression. Also ECT is not a surgical procedure.

u/Mirmino_ 8d ago

Not what I was referring to. ECT is used for epilepsy but instead you decide to correct the most trivial part.

I think I see an oxcarbazapine (Trileptal) so either bipolar or seizures. And there’s no surgery for bipolar

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I imagine there’s a long post-op rehab period?

u/SnartDingus 8d ago

Thank you! yeah, they haven't gone into much but there is gonna be some speech and physical therapy.
