If its a seizure then yes anxiety or anger can set it off but in a person without some form of seizure disorder (of which epilepsy is only one) it would not occur. If the anxiety or anger is caused by some form of psychiatric disability (such as anxiety disorder) a psychiatrist might be able to treat that but it would not stop the seizures. The neurologist should do follow up tests to find out what kind of seizure disorder she has. You might want to repost this question in the neurology forum.
