A member asked:
Can you give me advice with head injury that causes epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If this is you,: Need to start an anti-epileptic medication, so that further seizures are prevented. Also, get a neuro-psych assessment regarding cognitive and/or emotional problems from the injury. Meds to help cognition and seizure control are easily accessible, and advised.
