For people w/epilepsy, some mood disorders happen more often than people not living w/epilepsy. If you are living w/depression & epilepsy, Project UPLIFT (Using Practice and Learning to Increase Favorable Thoughts) can help.

Logging your seizure activity can help you and your health care team determine: what kind of seizures you have, whether your current treatment is working, what other treatments may help, possible triggers, and what side effects you may be having #epilepsy #epilepsyawareness

How do you record your seizure activity: a diary, an app, on paper? No matter how you keep track of your seizures, it is important to have as much information as possible about the frequency, types, and how they affect you. Share with your health care team to get the best care.
