Community Corner: What are your questions about epilepsy, it’s every-day challenges, and emotional health?

Epilepsy affects how a person feels, as well as the emotional health of family and friends, in many ways. Ways to manage these challenges can include education, cognitive behavioral therapy and other forms of counseling, medications, wellness approaches, support groups, and more. Of course, getting the best possible seizure control affects a person’s feelings and behavior. So too does using the right seizure medicine at the right dose for each person.

Community Day 2018

On February 24th, the Epilepsy Foundation is co-hosting Pipeline Community Day 2018 – a time dedicated to people with epilepsy, their families, friends, and advocates. It’s a day we come together to learn, be empowered, share hope, and find community. Download the flyer.

One of the Community Day panel sessions is on Challenges and Opportunities: When it’s more than just seizures. This panel will look beyond seizures and explore every-day life concerns. It will also focus on ways to improve emotional health and wellness for the person with epilepsy and their loved ones.
