Brother suffering from epilepsy

Thu, 12/08/2016 - 05:55
My brother is suffering from epilepsy for past 1 year. It's to say he has seizures during night and even during day time. He is unmarried and is now 58. We find it very difficult to get hold of him once he is seizure stricken. He suffers a lot and it's really a pathetic situation. He is completely house ridden and he is not aware or he is not ready to accept that he is ill. He gets angry so quickly and I can sense a complete change in his behavior. Is this common with people suffering from epilepsy or seizures? Hoping to get him shifted to a nursing home for intensive care [ http://www.prestigecare.com/skilled.php ]. Is this really necessary? Comments invited.
