Epilepsy Surgery

Treatments

In this Epilepsy Surgery video, participants discuss the various treatment options for this condition. In order to keep seizures at bay, people try different techniques alongside traditional medication, such as natural and homeopathic therapies.

These 'Speaking from Experience' clips offer first hand accounts from people who have undergone epilepsy surgery, and their families. Issues covered include pre-surgery testing, the decision for surgery and the recovery period for both adults and children.
