Boy, I wish I knew what this young man means by aggression.  Since you and
he have the same kind of seizure disorder (I have complex partials myself)
maybe you could talk to this young man about your mutual seizure disorder.
Maybe this kid doesn't understand the fear component with this kind of
seizure disorder.  Maye this kid should at least TRY an anti-convulsant to
see if it would help him get a handle on the aggression.

One of the reasons I sought medical attention for my seizures, and this has
always been embarrassing to me, is because I was so paranoid I thought I
might hurt myself or someone else.  I also had an extremely exaggerated
startle response, and I was just waiting for the time when someone would
startle me and I would knock them off their feet (unintentional of course).

If this young man means aggressive as in anger, yeah, I think it is a
possibility.  I had some anger that wasn't the same, didn't feel the same,
as the fear component mentioned in the preceding paragraph.  It didn't seem
to be associated with a seizure however, although anti-convulsants seemed to
control that anger somewhat.

Yes....I have a client who experiences post ictal
psychosis after a complex partial seizure.

thanks for the replies.  She's dumped him (not, I hasten to add, due to
the epilepsy, he was demanding too much of her time).

Best Wishes in verticality.
