These medications are the most common treatment for epilepsy and work by stabilising the electrical activity in the brain, reducing the frequency and severity of seizures.
Lifestyle changes such as getting enough sleep, reducing stress, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and staying on a regular medication schedule can all help to manage epilepsy and reduce the frequency of seizures.
In some cases, surgery may be an option to remove the affected regions that cause seizures or to implant a device that can detect and prevent seizures from occurring.
This high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has been shown to help reduce seizures in some people with epilepsy, particularly in children.
This treatment involves the use of a device implanted under the skin in the chest that sends electrical impulses to the vagus nerve in the neck. It can help reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures.
