epilepsy treatment guidelines

Epilepsy treatment mainly aims to control seizures, often with medications called anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). Doctors choose specific medicines based on the type of seizures, and most people achieve good control with the right medication. If medications don’t work, other options like surgery or device-based therapies might be considered. Lifestyle adjustments, such as avoiding triggers and ensuring safety during seizures, are also important. Regular medical follow-up is essential to monitor treatment effectiveness and side effects. The goal is to help individuals live safely and independently while minimizing the impact of seizures on daily life.
