Having good physical health is an important part of living a happy and productive life. But for many young people, illnesses such as epilepsy can get in the way. This illness is caused by unusual electrical activity in the brain. Fortunately, people with epilepsy can learn to manage their condition. This begins with a proper medical diagnosis and treatment, but it doesn’t stop there. Patients with epilepsy may sometimes feel embarrassed about their illness or suffer side effects from the medication they must take. Part of the Managing Common Illnesses series, Managing Epilepsy is a guide for young people who want to learn more about how they can help themselves feel their best both physically and emotionally, so their condition doesn’t keep them from living their best lives.
