A heartbroken mum has watched her teen daughter become a toddler again after suffering from sixty seizures every day. Catherine Arries says her daughter Olivia Anderson has regressed back to a 'toddler stage' and "presents a lot younger than herself".
The 14-year-old was diagnosed with focal epilepsy in 2020, a neurological condition caused recurring seizures that affect one hemisphere of the brain, Chronicle Live reports. She also suffers from non-epileptic seizures which can lead to convulsions, paralysis, physical and verbal ticks, and hallucinations.
Catherine rushed Olivia to A&E on October 12 after she started acting much younger than her age and experiencing seizures. She has since been booked in for a doctors appointment later this month, however the mum feels that the NHS have already failed her after receiving a letter in July that Olivia had been discharged as the services felt they "couldn't help her with her locomotion at this time".
