Epilepsy is a condition that can occur at any age. It is often characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. For some individuals, epilepsy will be a lifelong condition, while for others it may be a condition they outgrow. This practical guide explains not only the complexities of epilepsy but also details the evidence-based, best-practice treatments that help manage the condition. It also includes the lived experience of families.
