ABSTRACT
A significant reason for his move interstate was psychosocial disintegration. He had a failed marriage and had moved back to live with his elderly mother. He was unemployed and had virtually lost contact with his daughter and former wife. Two years after the initial consultation, he would still experience seizures provoked by correspondence received from his daughter, and he coped with this by taking short-acting benzodiazepine medication half an hour before reading the letters. This approach prevented further such seizures.
