What does it mean?

Medications are only part of the management of epilepsy. Self management involves taking control of the way you think and feel about epilepsy, and how you cope in everyday life. It is about playing an active rather than a passive role in the management of your epilepsy - living life to the fullest.

Here we have a number of practical tips that may prevent seizures and help take control of your life.

Educate Yourself

Take Medications as Prescribed

Check Before Taking Other Medications or Supplements

Avoid Large Amounts of Caffiene or High Energy Drinks

Get Enough Sleep

Recognise and Respond to Stress

Be Aware of Seizure Triggers
