Management of Epilepsy

Depending on state regulations, you might not be allowed to drive if your seizures are not
properly controlled. Because seizures can happen at any time, commonplace tasks like
crossing a busy street can become hazardous. Losing one's independence may result from
several issues. Here are some coping strategies you can use, in addition to visiting your doctor
on a regular basis and according to your treatment plan:
● Keep a seizure journal to help you discover potential triggers and steer clear of them.
● If you have epilepsy, let people know by wearing a medical alert bracelet so they can
aid you if you have a seizure and are unable to talk.
● Teach those closest to you about seizures and emergency procedures.
● If you are experiencing or suspect that you are experiencing depression or anxiety,
seek professional assistance.
● Participate in a support group for those who have seizure disorders.
● Take part in health-promoting activities, such as eating a nutritious, balanced diet and
exercising frequently.
