What you should Avoid for Epilepsy

Staying socially engaged: get together with friends

Don't isolate yourself for Epilepsy

It's common for people with epilepsy to feel isolated due to concerns about having seizures in public or being misunderstood. However, maintaining social connections is crucial for emotional and mental well-being.

Regular interaction with friends, family, and support groups provides a sense of belonging and helps combat feelings of loneliness or depression, which can exacerbate stress and potentially increase the risk of seizures.

Engaging in social activities also allows you to educate others about your condition, creating a supportive environment where people understand how to assist you during a seizure. This not only enhances your quality of life but also ensures that you have a reliable support network during challenging times.
