Hi there has this happened to anyone else? I'm really worried at the moment, he has been in hospital for 6 weeks and now they want to move him to an adolescent psychiatric unit.

I'm new to all this so would love some words of wisdom

Thanks

Hi Ginwin

This must be a very difficult time for you and your son. It’s not usual for people with epilepsy to be placed in a psychiatric unit. It would be advisable to ask the hospital team caring for your son to explain why this has happened.

If you think it would be helpful to talk about your son’s situation with one of us, on the Epilepsy Helpline freephone 0808 800 5050, please feel free to phone us.

Regards

Diane Wallace
