About of Jonathon C. Arnold

Jonathon C. Arnold is a Neurologist based at 591 South Dowling Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia. He looks after people who are dealing with ongoing issues affecting the brain, nerves, and the way the body responds to stress and injury.


Many of his patients come in with seizure disorders. This can include epilepsy in general, along with specific seizure types like absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. He also works with conditions such as Dravet Syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), and Myoclonic Epilepsy, including myoclonic-atonic seizure patterns.


At times, families and patients need help with epilepsy that links to genes. That can include genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+), and other genetic epilepsy concerns where seizures can be triggered by fever. In other cases, seizures come after an event, like post-traumatic issues, where the nervous system has been affected over time.


Not all symptoms are just “seizures”. His work also includes chronic pain, which can sit alongside neurological issues and make everyday life harder. He may also support people dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and schizophrenia, where brain and nervous system changes can play a part in how someone feels, thinks, and copes day to day.


Because these conditions can be complex, care often needs to be steady and practical. Over time, management can involve sorting out what is happening, tracking symptoms, and making sure the treatment plan fits real life. Even when the cause isn’t straightforward, the goal is usually the same: reduce the impact on sleep, mood, safety, and day-to-day functioning.
