Frequently Asked Questions
A single seizure is a brief episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy is diagnosed when a child has two or more unprovoked seizures.
Modern anti-epileptic drugs are selected to minimize cognitive side effects, ensuring the child can continue learning normally at school.
Keep calm. Place the child on their side, clear the area of sharp objects, loosen tight neckwear, and time the seizure. Do not put anything in their mouth.
Many pediatric epilepsy syndromes are age-dependent, and children often outgrow them and can be safely weaned off medications after a few seizure-free years.
