Had Aneurysm. Getting Headache. Found Growth Of Scar Tissue On Brain. Took Diazapam. Brain Damage?

Thank you for posting your query.
Repeated episodes of passing out could be seizures related to the scar tissue due to right frontal lobe bleeds.
This requires use of antiepileptic drugs- depakote is a good choice. The dose needs to be adjusted as per the body weight. If he still gets seizures despite the maximum dose of depakote, then, another drug such as oxcarbazepine (trileptal) may be added.
Second thing we need to know is the status of the aneurysm. An angiography would help. If still present, it would need to be treated (clipping or coiling) to prevent more bleeds in the future.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
