Resources
Learning and living with epilepsy isn't done by just reading information. It means keeping up to date with new research and insights, finding out what other people say, and finding resources that will help answer your questions and make epilepsy management easier and more effective for you. Some of this information you'll find right here on epilepsy.com and some you may find in the series of links to other resources.
Start by browsing the resources of epilepsy.com and use the search tool to find more detailed research and clinical articles, abstracts and breaking news. For interactive help, create your own Seizure Diary and visit the Multimedia Center to watch and learn. Or follow the links for epilepsy-specific resource help here and outside of epilepsy.com. Print sections to read, send to a friend, and know that whatever it takes, we're here for you.
