   I moved into a place with a friend who has epilepsy. He's been on a bunch of pills for the past 4 years that have more or less settled the seizure parts down.

   The issue is he has spikes of anger occasionally, directly caused by a certain pill he is on. We have been friends forever so I'm not overly concerned but tonight he got livid with me and I realized how little I could have done (he's a big dude) if it got violent.

   It fucking sucks.

      We chatted afterwards and he said basically that he can't control his mind at all. He feels psychotic when it happens.

      I don't know what to say, nor what my place is to do something here. I've suggested talking to his hospital connections but usually it falls through for some reason or another.

         It's just awful. I don't know what I can do, or what I should do.

         I don't know what type of person I may meet when I come home tomorrow. Maybe happy go lucky, maybe depressed, maybe absurdly angry.

         It's frustrating, I can't even imagine what he must be feeling.
