About Treatments

The overarching goal of all epilepsy treatment is to have no more seizures and to experience no side effects.

When someone experiences a single seizure, or appears at the doctor's office with a history of questionable events that may or may not have been seizures, the first issue is to determine what happened, whether a seizure actually took place, of what type and duration it was, the possible cause, and the future prognosis. The answers to these questions will determine the treatment for epilepsy. And, the best answers are achieved through a strong partnership between you and your health care team.
