Your mental health matters too.
Living with epilepsy affects more than seizures. Anxiety, depression, stress, grief, isolation, and fear are common experiences for many people navigating epilepsy and seizure disorders.
If you are struggling, support is available.
Why Does Epilepsy Affect Mental Health?
Living with epilepsy can impact stress levels, mood, confidence, relationships, independence, and overall emotional well-being.
Many people living with epilepsy experience anxiety, depression, grief, frustration, isolation, uncertainty, or fear at some point in their journey.
Mental health support can be an important part of epilepsy care.
