Hello,

The narrated symptoms are indicative of Psychosis behavior with mood alterations rather than absence seizure which is not associated with drug addiction, immature acting and else. Absence seizure is usually seen in children with staring look into the sky while at school, or intermittently during homework session for a period of 10-20 seconds, commonly associated with head frowning or blinking eyes. However, a detailed evaluation with an expert Psychiatrist is mandatory for final clinical diagnosis ahead.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
