How can people guard against having seizures?
A person with epilepsy can help control seizures by taking the prescribed medication regularly, maintaining regular sleep cycles, avoiding unusual stress and working closely with his or her physician. Regular medical evaluation and follow-up visits also are important. However, seizures may occur even when these steps are followed. If your child is diagnosed with epilepsy, your child’s doctor will help you find the medication and daily regimen that works best to control the seizures.
