Has your daughter had a recent EEG? The
behavioral changes, depression, anxiety
and aggression can all be symptoms of
neurological changes secondary to
subclinical seizure activity. Perhaps a
visit to her neurologist is in order.
Sometimes hormonal changes can trigger
seizures. Have you seen any staring,
calling her and she does not respond (I
know - what kid doesn't do that),
daydreaming, confusion? These are symptoms
of seizures.
Sorry I can't tell you more. Your daughter
needs an EEG and to be assessed by her
neurologist.
