New Delhi, Nov. 10 -- For months, 15-year-old Ayesha (name changed) experienced a series of neurological episodes that began with unusual sensations, gradually leading to involuntary behaviours such as lip-smacking or fiddling with nearby objects - early signs of what doctors later identified as focal seizures. Throughout these episodes, Ayesha exhibited signs of impaired awareness with memory loss episodes. The uncertainty of Ayesha's condition was distressing for Ayesha and her family. The consultations with various doctors led to speculations but no definitive diagnosis, ranging from suspected stress to signs of an underlying psychiatric condition. The uncertain diagnosis led to more confusion and elevated stress.
