A diagnosis of epilepsy opens up many questions for patients and families. Because epilepsy can develop at any age, and each patient experiences different seizure types, severity and frequency, specific questions may be best answered by your physician. The Epilepsy Foundation (www.epilepsyfoundation.org) offers a Frequently Asked Questions section covering a broad range of useful information. In addition, your doctor and Sutter's Comprehensive Epilepsy Program staff can recommend books and other resources that others have found helpful.
