How can i know if i am having adult onset epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good evaluation: A careful description of events, a thorough examination, and an eeg will be necessary. Many patients experience episodic events that are not epilepsy. Even is those patients who have a defined seizure, good health management may avoid the need for chronic medications.
