A member asked:
Is one seizure a month considered "severe"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: It may make sense for the goal to have one seizure a month, if for example there would normally be ten or more. Some people have a tendency to have more of these than others. If you have tried 2-3 medicines, perhaps it is time to consider more closely what kind of seizures they are and what may be causing them.
