My 13 year old daughters behaviour has become more difficult since she was diagnosed with epilepsy last year. Is this due to the medication?
Adolescence is often a time when young people are striving to become independent. As well as having the usual anxieties about exams, careers and relationships, young people with epilepsy may be concerned or frustrated about the effect that seizures are having on their lives, and this may cause a change in their behaviour. In a few young people, medication may also affect their behaviour; if you feel that this is the case, it may be worth discussing this with the doctor.
