We advocate an initial psychologic assessment to help determine the appropriate treatment in children with recurrent anoxic-epileptic seizures.
These results provide further evidence of an 'epileptic tolerance' as shown by the substantial neuroprotective effect of a prior episode of epileptic activity upon subsequent epileptic insult and suggest that the prevention of excitotoxic damage after preconditioning results from an endogenous neuroprotective mechanism against hyperexcitability and seizures.
Long term follow-up indicates that this is an entirely benign epileptic condition.

What are the best ways to cope with infidelity?5 answersThe best ways to cope with infidelity involve understanding the impact on mental health and addressing the societal context. Negative cognitive appraisals of the cheating partner contribute to infidelity-related stress, which in turn leads to heightened depression and anxiety symptoms. Treatment should address the impact of secrecy and boundary violations on children involved in the infidelity. Therapists should consider societal gender and power structures and use a Relational Justice Approach to create an equitable foundation for healing, place the infidelity in a societal context, and practice mutuality. Cognitive-behavioral and insight-oriented strategies can be used to address the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional consequences of infidelity. Therapists should be familiar with research on infidelity, individual and cultural differences, and assessment and intervention skills. They should also consider responsibilities to individual partners and their relationship, manage conflicts of interest, and navigate confidentiality issues.
How do people cope with trauma?4 answersPeople cope with trauma in various ways. Some common coping mechanisms include prayer and faith, meeting with others who have experienced similar trauma, reflecting on personal experiences, and withdrawing from others. It is important for individuals to validate their feelings and emotions, combat irrational thoughts and fears, develop healthy coping skills, and regain control and power. After a traumatic event, it is normal for people to experience stress, fear, and anger, and have difficulty stopping thoughts about what happened. Trauma can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and symptoms such as anxiety, sleep and eating disorders, anger, and other reactions that may last for months or even years. People who have experienced trauma rely on various coping strategies, including making sense of what happened to them and generating meaning from the events.
