25. There are still problems
Post Seizure conditions can leave a person in a highly disassocaited state. Their emotional focus shifts drastically during this period. And there can be delusions of epiphanies created by the chaos of activity in their brain after the event.

Because the brain works by emotional association of experience these emotionally charged states can have a great deal of impact on an individual. They can become fixated on irrational things due to these exeperiences. This holds true even when they have cleared the post seizure phase.

It should also be noted that the severity of these events is different for each person. So basing an impression of what George's theoretical epilepsy be like on your impressions of your wife's epilepsy may be completely off the mark.
