Epilepsy in Childhood
- It affects children at different ages and in different ways.
- Early recognition and treatment are keys to the best possible outcome.
- For some, it will be a temporary problem, easily controlled with medication, outgrown after a few years.
- For others, it may be a lifelong challenge affecting many areas of life.
- It may be associated with serious, difficult-to-treat syndromes, including Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, genetically related conditions and developmental disorders.
- Social impact in childhood is often severe, producing isolation and loss of self esteem.
