Seizures

I have found my self laughing in times of deep depression. Laughing with frustration or despair at the world in which we live and its abject brokenness. Laughing at how absurdly stupid the world is. I suppose you might call it tragic laughter, given they say tragedy is close to comedy. I would be hesitant to assume it a seizure ... but it doesn't hurt to raise the possibility with a suitably trained medical professional.

hello ! 

 i do the exact same i'm low functioning ASD. the extreme laughter i do when i am struggling to understand the environment and people are being slightly pushy towards me such as my mental health nurse or carer. this did cause me to be placed in a mental hospital at the time.

however i also struggle with collapsing and convulsions we are still trying to determine whats causing this whether its due to emotional stressors i.e emotional epilepsy or epilepsy in itself. 

id say the best thing to do is write out her behaviors, what may have caused it etc. then tell the psychiatrist, nurse, doc. etc. 

Sounds like it could be focal, temporal lobe epilepsy 

 extreme laughter can be part of a meltdown.
