Frequently Asked Questions
Do persons with epilepsy have to follow a specific diet?
Eat nutritious foods whether or not you have epilepsy. Unless you are on the ketogenic diet, there are no specific foods you must eat. Having a balanced diet, however, does contribute to better seizure control.
Why is it important to learn about the social aspects of epilepsy?
Often, people with epilepsy experience more problems as a result of stigmatization rather than from the actual medical condition itself. It is important to learn about these social consequences so that people with epilepsy are aware of them and will know how to deal with these situations if confronted by them.
