Neuropsychological impairments in epilepsy

Neuropsychological impairments in epilepsy refer to difficulties with thinking, memory, attention, and problem-solving that can occur due to the brain’s abnormal electrical activity. Seizures may disrupt normal brain functions, and certain types of epilepsy or their treatments can lead to challenges in learning, language skills, or memory. These impairments vary depending on the seizure focus, severity, and duration, but with proper management, many individuals can maintain good cognitive function and quality of life. Understanding these impacts helps in providing targeted support and interventions to improve daily functioning.
