Epilepsy Support

Reasons for support groups include:

*Receiving encouragement from others in the same situation as yourself.

*Gaining comfort and feeling that you are not alone with your epilepsy.

*Learning new information about your disorder.

*Feeling accepted as you are.

Epilepsy support groups range from child, teen, and adult-oriented, to groups for parents or siblings of folks with epilepsy.

Places to get support:

*Your doctor, never feel embarassed about asking your doctor questions about your condition. They are there for you!

*Local support Groups in your area. Ask your doctor or hospital where in your area you can find support groups.

*Your family and friends.

*Your library

*The internet has endless information on epilepsy.

Epilepsy is usually treated with medication prescribed by a physician; primary caregivers and neurologists, or a special diet can be helpful.

Never forget you are not alone and there are people all around you that are there for you!
