Lewis Carroll’s personality and the possibility of epilepsy

Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice in Wonderland describes Alice’s fantastical experiences so similarly to the actual phenomenology of the eponymous syndrome, that it has been previously suggested that Carroll himself experienced it. The syndrome is mostly associated with migrainous aura, and naturally, Carroll was postmortemly “diagnosed” as a migraineur. However, when considering his unique personality profile, it appears that he might have had temporal lobe epilepsy.
