There is not much physical movement except clonic facial movements. Speech is often arrested. Diagnosis
The diagnosis of FLE is difficult due to the overlapping and similar symptoms to psychiatric disorders. The diagnosis of FLE has been done by clinicians, and their reviews of the medical history, and physical and neurological examinations. The following neurological tests can be helpful for diagnosing FLE
Electroencephalography (EEG)
MRI
Video EEG

Electroencephalography (EEG)
EEG helps in finding out the exact area of the brain where seizures occur. In the case of FLE, the EEG is almost normal. MEG and electroencephalography (EEG) in the temporal domain provides a better and wider view of information exchange across networks in patients with impaired and unimpaired FLE. Neuroimaging for diagnosis
Advancements in technology, has given rise to newer, more efficient methods of diagnosis, most prominent being in the domain of neuroimaging. The high spatial resolution from fMRI has implications on certain brain regions contributing to memory. The usage of task fMRI for examination of memory or other higher cognitive networks may also be used to predict ictal onset zone(s) in patients with FLE, giving the advantage of refinement of patient-specific analyses. The use of multi-modal approaches in association with neuroimaging techniques like fMRI and MEG or EEG will be informative in characterizing atypical functional brain networks in FLE. But, difficulty remains in the evaluation of potential compensatory mechanisms between patients with FLE with normal and impaired memory, without properly characterizing transfer of information during memory tasks.
Studies have not been done to date to determine the differential risk posed by drivers with frontal lobe epilepsy relative to the general epileptic population.Hormones and pregnancy issuesHormonal changes and pregnancy can shift seizure activity and the use of antiepileptic drugs can alter the efficacy of hormones as well as cause congenital malformations in fetuses. Seizure control in pregnant women is very important to the welfare of both the developing fetus and the mother. Hormonal shifts at puberty, with birth control and at menopause can also cause changes in the frequency and severity of seizures and must be closely monitored. Increased seizure activity is reported by 50% of women during the course of the pregnancy due to changing levels of hormones, fluids, salts and absorption and elimination of medications.EmploymentA report by the Epilepsy Foundation noted that the unemployment rate amongst people with epilepsy is 25% and in patients whose seizures are poorly controlled the rate jumps to 50%. Even though people with epilepsy are protected under The Americans with Disabilities Act, employment discrimination and high rates of unemployment due to employer attitudes still exist. A study in the UK showed that 16% of employers surveyed felt there were no jobs in their company suitable for people with epilepsy and that 21% felt that employing an epileptic would be a "major issue". Fifty percent of the employers said they had a high concern regarding employing people with epilepsy with most citing safety concerns/workplace accidents as their major issue.
