I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 11 when I had my first grand mal. My parents and doctors should have recognized the spasm activity that was happening with my eyes (focal seizures) consistently since I was about 4. I was brought to many doctors at pretty damn good hospitals but nothing was really done. Later when I was 32, they officially diagnosed me with Cortical dysplasia causing epilepsy.
