Diagnosis typically involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Key steps include:
Neurological Examination: Assessing cognitive function, motor skills, and reflexes. Blood Tests: Checking for infections, metabolic imbalances, and other systemic issues. Imaging Studies: CT scans or MRIs to look for brain injuries or structural abnormalities. Electroencephalogram (EEG): To detect abnormal electrical activity in the brain, such as seizures.
