Welcome to epilepsy.com, your online source for information, community and resources aimed at your experience with epilepsy. Our site features information about epilepsy and furthers the vision of the Epilepsy Therapy Project to create a powerful resource for everyone involved in caring for, or treating, those with epilepsy.
The epilepsy.com Editorial Board writes, places, and reviews the content throughout epilepsy.com and epilepsy.com/professionals. This team is proud to provide more than 7,500 pages of in-depth information about epilepsy and seizures to help further the mission of the Epilepsy Therapy Project.
This menu in the top right corner of the screen gives you access to information specific to Kids, Teens, Women, Families & Caregivers, and Seniors. As we continue to learn about how epilepsy affects people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities, we'll continue to add valuable information to these sections.
Important resources follow you along the top bar on all pages through epilepsy.com. Including this page for First-Time Visitors, a Toolbox including links to Find a Doctor, a Seizure Medicines database, Seizure First Aid, and Animations of a Seizure compliment the tools that help sustain the Epilepsy Therapy Project, including online Donations and Shop.epilepsy.com.
Members join a Community of over 23,000 other individuals who listen, share, and engage on epilepsy.com. While all information is available to non-members, benefits of membership include access to participate in Community Forums and Blogs, with the ability to find other users based on interests, location, epilepsy treatments, and more. As a member you can create Groups with other members around your interests, using a buddy list to find and keep in touch with friends. You can save pages, videos, and animations to a "favorites" list, share your experiences and expertise through user-generated content, or stake out your corner of the internet through a Story Webpage. Create a Seizure Diary to track your health, medications, and appointments and receive email notifications when the topics that interest you are updated. In short, free membership on epilepsy.com provides many opportunities to engage and and manage your epilepsy!
Over 7,000 pages of content await you through the left-hand navigation of epilepsy.com. Orange header sections include All about Epilepsy & Seizures, Diagnosis, Treatment, Seizure Preparedness, Living with Epilepsy, and Resources. Some of the most popular areas in these sections include Epilepsy 101: The Basics, the Seizure Medicines database, Feature Articles, and the Multimedia Center.
Again, welcome to epilepsy.com. If you ever still have questions as you tour through the site, you have many outlets available. The Help Center includes tutorials through the most popular sections of the website. Consider joining the Chat Room to talk with others in real-time. For specific questions, you can Ask the Resource Specialist, or if help is still needed, consider using the email link at the bottom of the page to contact the owners of this site. Good luck!
