It's always better to go to Neurologist for Epilepsy. Only if the siezures look psychogenic which is called PNES/conversion disorders then psychiatrist would help.
Next Steps
whenever possible make a video of the event which helps the doctor
Health Tips
During siezure keep patient in a side position and not to put anything in mouth if teeth are clenched
