The likelihood of experiencing a recurrent seizure is closely linked to a person’s stress level, according to a recent study that looked at 52 individuals with a single unprovoked seizure and 29 with newly diagnosed epilepsy. The researchers, who looked at adult residents in low-income areas of Northern Manhattan and Harlem, New York City, found that generalized anxiety disorder increased the risk of a recurrent seizure threefold. In a second analysis, a mood disorder more than doubled the risk of a recurrent seizure.
