Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. There is a general agreement that the incidence of neurobehavioral disorders is higher in patients with epilepsy than in the general population. Multiple interacting biologic and psychosocial factors determine the risk for the development of either schizophreniform psychoses or major depression in patients with epilepsy.

It is estimated that 20-30% of patients with epilepsy have psychiatric disturbances. The given symptoms correspond to epileptic induced psychoses and a neurologist will be able to assess and provide the perfect treatment. Consult a neurologist at the earliest.

Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome.
Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
