I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Epilepsy can begin at any time of life, but it's most commonly diagnosed in children, and people over the age of 65. Some children with epilepsy will outgrow their seizures as they mature, while others may have seizures that continue into adulthood. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
