You've recently experienced a seizure for the first time with no clear cause (unprovoked seizure).
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It's characterised by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of involuntary movement, abnormal sensations, or altered consciousness. Seizures can vary greatly from person to person, and some people may also experience changes in mood or behaviour before or after a seizure.

You've recently experienced a seizure for the first time with no clear cause (unprovoked seizure).
You've been diagnosed with epilepsy but are still experiencing seizures.
You're looking for a personalised epilepsy treatment plan to manage your seizures and improve your quality of life.
You want to work with expert neurologists specialising in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.
Your goal is to gain more control over your epilepsy and potentially become seizure-free.
Drink alcohol or use recreational drugs: These substances can lower seizure thresholds and increase seizure risk.
Take over-the-counter medications without consulting your doctor: Some medications can interact with epilepsy drugs or lower seizure thresholds.
Ignore warning signs: If you feel an aura (a warning sensation before a seizure), take steps to avoid injury and find a safe place.
Isolate yourself: Epilepsy doesn't have to hold you back. Continue activities you enjoy, but prioritise safety and let someone know if you're concerned.
Drive if you have uncontrolled seizures: Driving is unsafe if your seizures are not well-managed. Talk to your doctor about driving restrictions.
Make drastic lifestyle changes without consulting your doctor: Discuss any significant changes in diet, exercise routine, or sleep patterns with your doctor first.
