Sometimes termed temporal lobe epileptic personality, it is manifested as a
change in personality in three areas: 1) sexuality such as sexual paraphilias,
conflicts over sexual preference, or hyposexuality; 2) aggressivity such as
aggressive actions, moral indignation, or plans for retaliation for imagined
slights; and 3) emotions and intellect such as compulsive writing or drawing
(often related to religious or philosophical speculations), preoccupation with
details, and a clinging quality in relations with others. See epilepsy.
