Cognitive and Behavioral Impairments in Epilepsy

Cognitive and behavioral impairments in epilepsy can affect a person’s thinking, memory, and emotional well-being. Seizures, especially frequent ones, can disrupt brain function and lead to difficulties in concentration, learning, and decision-making. Additionally, people with epilepsy may experience mood changes, anxiety, or depression, which can further impact their daily life. These challenges may vary based on the type of epilepsy, the person’s age, and how well the condition is managed. Understanding these effects is crucial for providing appropriate support and treatment to improve quality of life.
