Living with Epilepsy

Every chronic illness raises many questions for patients and their families, often related to concerns about how the condition might negatively impact their future quality of life. It is important to emphasize that in well-controlled epilepsy, where seizures are successfully prevented, there is typically no significant deterioration in the patient’s quality of life. However, in patients with poorly controlled epilepsy, support from close family members is often necessary, and professional psychosocial support from experienced psychologists and specialized social workers becomes essential.
