Suggest Treatment For Seizures

I am somewhat familiar with siezures. I m looking for specifics. The seizures associated with a female I recently met? Are due to brain injury. It is not classified as Epilepsy . I need a good sight to copy, more then whether they are clonic etc. I have a strong hunch, they are stress related. Endocronology would seem to be a strong avenue. Ruling out Adodonic/adrenal gland issues. As well, she has a notable cyst-like attached to her Thyroid Gland . It has not been testing in over a year. Can you suggest a web sight? Perhaps Elsheiver ?
