Interictal behavior syndrome

Sometimes termed temporal lobe epileptic personality, this syndrome manifests as personality changes in three areas: a) sexuality, such as sexual paraphilias, conflicts over sexual preference, or hyposexuality; b) aggressivity, such as aggressive actions, moral indignation, or plans for retaliation for imagined slights; and c) emotions and intellect, such as compulsive writing or drawing (often related to religious or philosophical speculations), preoccupation with details, and a clinging quality in relationships with others (social viscosity).
