Emotional factors can alter the likelihood of seizure occurrence, and they usually increase the frequency of attacks. Our case studies showed that such activation is brought about through missed medication, sleep deprivation, and hyperventilation. Less well documented is the possibility that increased excitability and seizures may be due to direct neuronal activation of limbic circuits, although such a mechanism would be quite plausible.
