Chase, I am a neuropsychologist who works primarily with veterans. That you are able to speak so openly and candidly about your condition speaks to the selflessness most of you embody. I watch the behavior panel videos regularly and stumbled upon this one.

Every soul in the entire world is unique. There is no such thing as normal and abnormal. Embrace and accept yourself exactly as you are. You are special. You are uniquely loved by God as his child. You don't have to be the same as anyone else. This is not a brain disease. It's your uniqueness. We have all had multiple births behind us and there are consequences for our actions and we live with those consequences. I also have traits that are my own unique qualities. God is not a part of religion. You can connect with that Supreme soul based on who you are, not based on your family background. Actually you are much more ok than most of the people around you and your family. You need to practice detachment and faith in yourself and positivity. I wish you all the best.

For the last 20 years of my life, struggling with the very same condition, I've never been able to put into words what im going through. As the years go by, I'm struggling to form proper sentences most of the time. My memory is fading fast. My neurologist has me on a medication that helps the seizures. But the side effects are awful. Ive always tried to explain to my doctors and family that its like I'm behind a veil. Like I'm here, but not connected to anything on a real level. Again, I struggle to find words the more this has progressed for me. But I'll tell you right now, I began crying while showing this to my husband and telling him "This is what it's like for me!"... for the first time I saw real sadness and empathy from him, regarding my condition. I will never ever be able to put into words how thankful I am that you posted this! It is beyond any measure I can explain. THANK YOU!

And even I know it sounds weird, but we, as watchers of your channels, become, in a way, close to you (and the panel) so this made me so sad and I’m, from the bottom of my heart and very sincerely, so sorry for especially you, but also your family… I think I speak for not only myself when I say that some things really aren’t “fair”, that you are such an authentic person with so much potential and intelligents trough the roof but yet so humble and sympathetic. I’ve gotten to “know you” because of the BP, but read your books and saw every clip of you that popped up on my feed here. I’ve have learned SO MUCH from you. You’re already a legacy as far as I am concerned. The 4 of you are a great couple, every one of you with your own personality and “gifts” or “specialisms”, but you are -and I have proof in the comments under more than one of your BP vids- the one I find so intriguing and really look up to. I’m not religious, yet I’ll pray for you, your wife and children. I know, even though it might be degenerative, you WILL continue to strive and I am so thankful we all can be a part of your journey.

My husband has a similar condition. He sometimes forgets my name and our precise relationship but he ALWAYS knows I'm someone he loves and trusts. You did exactly that during your child's birth and you need to know that it counted. I'm always amazed by my partners ability to fall in love with me over and over again. It's a beautiful thing.

I went through a horrible experience years ago with “brain fog”. I knew that I was supposed to know or remember things, but I couldn’t get them into my consciousness. Turns out that it was caused by meds given to me for a diagnosis that never fit diagnostic criteria. In the meantime, I left my work as a labor and delivery nurse when I realized that I was not safe. It was a very long and painful journey to accept that I would not be able to do lots of things with my grandchildren. There have been bouts of depression, but none as severe as the first round. The doctor who gave me a better diagnosis, and a pathway to a more functional life left town. Since then, I’ve had the feeling that I understand what this is better than any medical provider I have seen since she left town. God bless you as you continue through this difficult process. (I was 56 when it began, 57 when I applied for disability. But I started to realize at about the 10 year mark that I could look back and see evidence that this process had been going on for a long time and I had basically ignored a whole lot of pain to be able get my job done, and maybe I could stop calling myself a wienie!)

That phrase, "watch my recovery or watch my decline", hit me hard. After watching Chase Hughes for quite a while on The Behavior Panel, I see him as a man who goes straight to the point without the use of euphemisms, sugar coating or false deference. Watching him explain his diagnosis with those same skills, gives me hope that perhaps there is a way for him to live with this condition rather than to have it consume him. I have face blindness so in a quite a small way I have experienced that out of body feelings of: who the heck is this person who stopped me at the grocery store. I do not know if this is a salesperson or my next door neighbor. So I have also played that smile game, while talking in generalities or faking an appointment to make my get-away. THANK YOU Chase Hughes. I have just subscribed to this channel. I feel honored to be educated on this journey by a person that I trust, even if I could not ever recognize him at my local grocery store.

Man, I'm sitting here choking back tears because I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy 19 years ago and know exactly what you're going through. 2 brain surgeries later and 1 simple medication and I'm now seizure free. The Deja Vu experience was always creepy. I was lucky because where I live I have access to 1 of the best Neurology Departments in the country and my Brain Surgeon is 1 of the best. My saving grace is my wife, she's a Nurse and she's the 1 who recognized what was going on with me because like you stated, these aren't fall down and shake seizures, you just zone out so they can be hard to recognize without medical training. I'm always trying to stay busy with work, I'm a Real Estate developer/investor so it's really easy to stay busy. I was incredibly lucky to be blessed with the family I have and receive the support I needed dealing with this. I feel you Chase and I'm praying for you.

Chase, as a nurse, I know this has to be a difficult story to tell. For you to have the inner strength and willingness to share this part of your life is tremendous.

Thank you! Your ability to share with so many such a tough path your own is honabale as a mum with a son who has epilepsy (due to his brain malformation) I never knew he was as having them for 6-12 months because they didn’t look like what you see on tv. He was having absent seizures now he has a ray of them from absent to tonic clonic. He forgets things words and if it’s an absent he shakes his head like he is clearing cobwebs out. To hear your experiences from having them has helped me understand a little of what he maybe experiencing as he can’t express this due to his pachygyriea. So again thank you. The more people know about epilepsy and all times the better. I wish you a sucessful recovery

[@jarrettfinney4882]

It’s hell on earth. No one believes you for a very long time. And by that time it’s almost too late. People often think you’re lying to get out of stuff. They look at you like the biggest waste on earth because God has given you all of these gifts and abilities and you can never really figure out how to use them for your benefit or anyone else’s. You don’t know where anyone’s coming from and the moment you don’t fall into the vision they already had of you, their done. The worst is people you love not believing you. My specific problem is brain injuries from football. No idea how this happened, but the part of our brains where the most activity at, I have less than half, closer to a third of the activity, but other parts that are only supposed to have a little here and there, there’s way too much, like a hundred times as much in some areas. It feels like my brain is stuck in fast forward. It was a strength at first, still is in some ways, but I feel like a tired old man, and I’m only 31. But the science is wrong saying “we only use ten percent of our brains.” The average person uses his whole brain how it was meant to be used. But thank you for taking the time to comment!! Most people don’t even know we exist, and dealing with these childish, disrespectful young women today, it’s a nightmare. Especially when Gods already shown you what’s happening. The ships going down, and we have more than enough lifeboats for everyone, but the men in the boiler room are the only ones getting off. The party goers refuse to listen because the captain and crew are telling them the ship is fine. But they don’t know that they’re intentionally being lied to.

But the reason I am commenting on this thread is because this person gave you the path to Jesus, the ultimate Healer. As the Bible says, draw near to God & He will draw near to you. As you are promising to be real & raw to us, be the same to Him, because He knows everything about you anyway. Don’t ever give up. You are battling an enemy - & on both levels: physical & spiritual - & emotional. But don’t battle it alone, & I don’t mean family necessarily. Does sound like positive things are happening because you are still with us in every way. May this journey be toward absolute healing. But KEY! I can’t stress it enough: it’s God. And the good news is He is about to show up in such a way that will blow your mind / but in a good way. And I know healing & health is coming. And I am talking THIS YEAR. I’m serious. You might look into Med-Beds. It’s a technology (?) that I would love all military veterans be first to use them. They heal & replace all missing parts. I’m talking missing limbs coming back.

I'm a biologist who became a social worker. It is very rare for individuals with neurological issues to be so open about this. It is frightening when your reality becomes strange. And it's even more frightening when others find out, because they may start treating you differently, or not understand etc. But I have seen in practice that deciding to be open, deciding to inform the workd at large, makes it easier for others to recognize and accept channges in behaviour, accomodate treatment etc. Also, the active confrontation with internal "demons" makes the process of reconnecting with the world and reality a lot faster. I wish you well and just remember you are doing the best that you can. It shows.

Chase, I'll be praying for you. Very brave of you to share.

[@littlebird8837]

Adding my prayers for your recovery, dear Chase. I love watching you and the guys on the panel. ❤🙏

[@njones2005]

As a nurse I believe your ability to articulate your experiences so specifically, will definitely help health care providers to provide better care. I am sure with your military background that it was very hard to be that vulnerable, but i am sure so much good will come from this. You have always been my favorite on TBP, and I'm sure with your resilience, perseverance, determination, and positive attitude that this will not defeat you. I will definitely be following your journey, not only to educate myself and hopefully others, but also for personal reasons from some similar neuro changes from covid. I will be 🙏🙏🙏 for you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear this about you. But, your actions are positive and can only help your recovery. You are an outstanding man on the Behavior Panel that I have always admired. I wish you all of the best care and positivity as you are on your journey to get well. I look forward to your updates, whenever you would like to share them with us.

Omg! My son was diagnosed with this in 2022. I am speechless at finding your video today! I feel like I have found a long sought-after message in a bottle. This condition is so foreign to me and so little information is to be had. Thank you so much! I will be watching !

My daughter also has this type of seizure. Totally know how you felt seeing this video. I’m so grateful Chase posted this as my daughter doesn’t have the vocabulary to express how she feels. Just seeing that footage from the Behaviour Panel when Chase was having a seizure made me emotional as I’ve never seen anyone else have this type of seizure.

[@ginachiarelli8254]

The first word that comes to mind is brave. Brave to be so honest and transparent with the hope and intention of helping others. In the midst of your condition your altruism is remarkable, yet should come as no surprise since you have served and sacrificed for your country. I’ve marveled at your intelligence, insight, and dedication (along with your fellow Panel members), and now I can include in that list your courage, determination, and extraordinary capacity to love those who know and love you, as well as those of us who only wish we did. May God continue to bless you so that you may continue to bless others. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@pitbullcrew271]

Wow! Thank you for sharing this!!! I have always been a fan of you on the behavior panel and with Spidey. You always seem to possess so much empathy. I was married to a Desert Storm combat Marine vet who had PTSD and seizures which worsened when the USA invaded Iraq in 2003. One day, I came home from work and he spoke to me so differently and thought I was a military recruiter. It continued. He refused to take his health issues seriously and his life ended in an unfortunate way. I am so glad you are taking this seriously and are so committed to your health for your own sake and especially for that of your family. True hero ❤️

[@myriamluzeka5788]

So sorry your husband could not recover. Take care !

[@LucaC2626]

What a brilliant, courageous, compassionate, articulate man. In a class of his own. So very sorry for your suffering. We are all with you and praying for you Chase.

[@rainbowzebraunicornpegasus2962]

My eldest daughter was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy at age 6. Unless, she was talking, walking, or doing a task that required moving or talking, we wouldn't know she was seizing. She has "lost" much of her childhood memories as they worsened. She even lost custody of her baby boys because "professionals" thought she was using illegal substances. They never once cared about her diagnosis not the fact her tox screens were clean. She has expressed many of the same symptoms. Gentle hugs! I can only imagine what you, Kearstin (now 29), and anyone else who suffers from this condition feel. I feel for your family and friends as well. I well understand how they feel. Thank you, Chase, for sharing your experience. Knowledge is power. Your sharing knowledge gives everyone power.

[@mikkiduf]

I’m praying for you Chase, the fact that you were protecting your wife during a seizure says so much about your bravery and your love for her

[@elizabethround2401]

I have been transfixed by the behaviour panel and have only just summoned up the courage to watch this video. Chase, you are a remarkable human being and your bravery will help not only you but the many people you are hoping to reach by going public with this. My thoughts and prayers go with you, your wife and your children as you negotiate this extra path in your lives. You already know how lucky you are to have their support and now you know that many others are supporting you all too. Sending you a big hug

[@renaissancelady9938]

God bless you Chase. I too have suffered with temporal lobe epilepsy and it is one of the most frightening and life-changing/devastating things that has ever happened to me. I don't think anybody can truly grasp what it is like when you can no longer trust your brain or your own reality. You and your family will be in our prayers!

[@valerielock2374]

[@MeOhMyOh75]

Wow Chase, thank you so much. My daughter tried explaining her de ja vu with her neurologist and he loooked at her like she was stupid. I’m sharing this with an epilepsy fb page here in Australia - it is so rare to have such an eloquent description of what it feels like and rarer still to have someone brave enough to share their experience so honestly and with so much humility. You are truely remarkable, thank you ❤

[@michelefitzmaurice4610]

@JL-ob3me ~ I recently brought up “de ja vu” w/my stepdtr & husband & they’d heard of it but neither have ever experienced it. I was shocked, I thought everyone had experienced this at one time or another! I’ve experienced it off & on since I was a child. I’m making a point now to ask lots people if they’ve ever experienced a de ja vu, lol! I’m sorry your daughter was treated like that by her neurologist. 😢

[@GiGi34347]

Thank you Chase, God bless you. My friend’s husband has been struggling with everything you mentioned since 2022, but his doctors have no answers. I think God had you make this video just in time for her to gain hope for her husband and probably many others who needed to hear this. I’ve forwarded your video to her, hoping and praying for your recovery and my friends husband’s recovery. Thank you so much❤️🙏🏻

God bless you Chase. Thank you for sharing. I am a MD and have never heard such an eloquent description of the firsthand experience of temporal lobe seizures. The irony of the neuroscience expert possibly having MTS is palpably tragic and sad. That you are preserving your vast knowledge for others and exploring your own science based treatment speaks volumes to your courage and character. I have followed TBP since your first episodes during Covid lockdown. I will continue to follow your journey and am rooting for your recovery.❤

The years passing in your mind during a seizure is one of the most terrifying experiences I have ever heard of.

[@chasehughesofficial]

It’s definitely super weird. I specialized in neuroendocrinology and still don’t have words for it.

[@devyn7853]

Indeed, this was the most mind-blowing thing to me in the video. Some near death experiencers have described this passage of time, Betty Eadie in her book Embraced by the Light is one. There was also an episode of ST:Next Gen where a man travels between two different worlds/different families, spending years in one, then suddenly waking up in the other. Possible some sci-fi writers are having this same thing happen to them.

[@devyn7853]

The TNG episode was called The Inner Light. Picard is knocked unconscious and during that time of 25 minutes, decades pass in another life. From Wikipedia: Picard speaks of his life on the Enterprise but Eline and their close friend Batai try to convince Picard that his memories were only feverish dream. God bless 🙏💕

[@AvaR-pk5np]

Hi Chase! My name is Ava, I live in Sweden and I have been a fan and supporter of your channel since the beginning. This is gonna a be a long message and hopefully you’ll be able to read it. If not, just know that I admire you greatly! I want to thank you for sharing this extremely sensitive and personal information, as I know the stigma that surrounds these neurological conditions. Your video made me tear up for a few reasons. Firstly, I’m so very sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the pain that it has caused you and your family. Second, it made me sad because I too was diagnosed a year ago, with (generalized) tonic-clonic epilepsy and temporal lobe/nocturnal seizures. I know exactly how you feel, with the dissociative feelings that leave you empty, hollow and confused. It feels like the joy, the warmth and the colors of life is being sucked out of you, piece by piece. The worst part is the aftermath, not only the confusion but when you’re back to “normal” and realize what has happened, it makes it even more sad and painful. I wouldn’t wish it upon anybody. I’m on Lamotrigine for a year and haven’t had any big seizures but I still suffer from nocturnal seizures. I will read more in depth about Mesial temporal sclerosis, hopefully you get a medication that works for you and you can continue to live a normal life because it is possible! I never thought I would become normal again yet here I am, thriving and not letting this disease stop me. I want you to know that you’re an incredible human, and you have truly changed the way I view myself, my personality/way of thinking and my sensitivity. Watching you and your advice, your intelligence, your strength has truly inspired me. I always knew you had a great sensitivity, because the way you viewed people and analyzed them, and understood them on such a deep level was not ordinary. You have an amazing brain! Your brain is different and beautiful! I’m so thankful that you shared this, as it made me feel less alone and connected to you and your channel on a deeper level. I know you will get through this, I know you will conquer this too! Thank you thank you thank you. Sending love, prayers and positive energy to you and your family!

I’ve watched this 3 times now and every time I’m just left in utter disbelief. You would never have guessed that you were struggling with this. You articulate yourself so well! Not just on behavior panel but also here on your solo channel and the streams you’ve done with Spidey. I keep rewatching to see how I missed it. I would say please keep us updated, Chase but I know you will. We need you right here with us. We are with you. Period.

[@darlenepowell4038]

Thank you for trusting us. You will be in my prayers. Before my father died he had dementia, and I know it’s not the same thing, but my mother got in the habit of leaving him notes on the table. Sometimes they were the plans for the day and sometimes they were encouragement. At a particularly difficult time when he felt terrible about himself, she left him a note with the things I like about my husband. It disappeared from the table and after his death, she found it in his Bible. I share that story with anyone that I meet who has memory problems because it was so encouraging to my father. Again, you are in my prayers.

[@Sarahh185]

Dear Chase, I am a doctor going through a very similar thing, due to complex post traumatic syndrome. Repressed memories of trauma usually arise in the 50s, and combine with flashback and blackout phenomena, causing cognitive and emotional dissociation. I love your show and this video is a Godsend. May God bless you and grant you a long and happy life, so that you can continue to be a wonderful husband and father and perform your service role in your chosen profession and more personally. ✨🙏🌹🙏

[@Chasing70]

This has happened to me also about repressed memories from childhood. ( I have has CPTSD for the last nine years, but slowly getting well. No one told me this info about happening in our fifties. Thank you.

[@ritzyroo353]

I totally agree. I am a mental health professional snd this is common at this age. Whatever happens in formative years gets you in the 50’s. Seen it many many times. Low dose antipsychotic really helps. Can stop seizures too. Trauma based illness. Good therapy will help. EMDR. I had a patient who had a major break psychosis when her brother had a baby girl. Turns out she locked in that he was “SA” to her all through her youth. Chase is awesome.

[@chasehughesofficial]

Thanks, Doc!

[@fionaewen6231]

​@@ritzyroo353 lm not a health professional in any way, but reading your post sounds like there is an experiential element to this. There was a fascinating tv series by a British hypnotist about healing all sorts of maladies with hypnotism, he even surprised himself at the outcomes. Ive been wondering ever since about this method of treatment ... Sorry if im way off. Just my thoughts.

[@Cathyntn]

Omg, my 35yo son was diagnosed with this at age 18. He progressively now..has very different “memories” about his childhood, family, friends, vacations. 😔 He’s very intelligent and articulate, educated.. But ever since he married 8 years ago, he’s now distant towards me , his dad & brother. It’s heartbreaking. He confided in his brother several times practically everything as you described it, plus the childhood memories are waay “out there”. The way you described how you’ve felt & experienced the “fugue” state is practically word for word how he was describing it to me when it first started. Being a nurse, I recognized the blank “not there” stares & other signs. The fact that you have various types of memories.. helps me further understand , his distancing himself… & what he’s “remembering” really is due to his condition. Thank you for being brave and posting this. I wish you and your family the best of luck and peace, understanding & love.

[@janeferguson4455]

My immediate response to your note is the feeling that his wife Might be taking advantage of his brain disorder to isolate him from his family. THAT is abuse. I have NO recommendations but I DO share this idea of mine.

[@sammnew]

My eldest son has a TBI which has given him false memories which he has told his wife. Consequently we are estranged and I have no interaction with them or their children. I’m heartbroken and angry. I’m sorry that you’re suffering too ❤️💔❤️

[@argusfleibeit1165]

@@janeferguson4455 OR, maybe he feels safest in his relationship to his wife. Can you imagine how hard it must be, to attempt to act normal to his entire family, when his reality is so fragmented and shattered ? How does he keep filling everyone in on how complicated his interior life is from one day to the next? He may find it impossible to deal with so many people, and wish to hide as much as possible. So can you just keep your alarmist thinking to yourself? It's really not OK to start accusing people you don't know of having evil intentions. She's probably doing the best she can to keep him calm, positive, and able to cope.

[@jochildress5003]

My late husband had seizures for over 50 years without his family ever recognizing what was happening. It was only after he married me late in life that we learned what was happening because I was able to observe him more constantly than anyone had. All he knew was that in his earlier life, sleeping in a bed alone, he would sometimes wake tired and with his sheets and blankets inexplicably all bunched up. He also worked hard and served society all his adult life, and I applaud you for all your service.

I came back to watch this a second time.. it really affected me. As someone with a progressive neurodegenerative disease; when I was diagnosed, I never thought I would make it to 2024.. our bodies are so much stronger than we give them credit for. You and I are both here, fighting. I didn’t know this, but you added me on Instagram after I shared me story.. little did I know; you were suffering with something similar. Being vulnerable allows you to help people you never could have imagined. While behaviour in the military was your first act - this is your second act; helping the medical field and patients who are similar to you. I find so many parallels with you. I’m so grateful you had the courage and bravery to let us in.. I know how hard that can be.

As a somewhat neurodivergent retired optometrist who has worked with tbi and stroke patients, I find this poignant and fascinating. You are in a unique position to document your experience. It reminds me of the book “My Stroke of Insight” by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist who documented many of the nuances of her severe stroke and road to recovery. Aside from my interest as a scientist and clinician, I am a fan of you and TBP, typing through tears. I will pray for you and your lovely family as you navigate this frightening terrain.
