It is difficult to tell whether seizure activity will be any different once an individual reaches adolescence. Some people with epilepsy may see a decline in frequency of seizures, while others may not. For example, children with absence seizures will usually stop having them by the time they reach adolescence.

Use a diary to record your seizures. Include the type, date, time, duration, what you were doing, possible triggers, etc. This information is important for your doctor to assess whether there have been any changes in your seizures. Your records will also come in handy when you need to recall your medical history later.
