Epilepsy

How can you manage epilepsy and seizures?

Keep a seizure diary to record the number, type and triggers of seizures. This will help your doctors assess the effectiveness of medications.

When someone is having a seizure:

• Remain calm
• Protect the person from harm
• Turn the person to the side
• Observe the type and duration of seizure
• DO NOT restrain the person unless there is danger
• DO NOT put anything in the mouth
  
• DO NOT crowd around the person
