Mental health and behavioral problems are just a few of the concerns that can affect children with epilepsy and these can vary greatly from one child to the next. While some people with epilepsy experience few if any mental health issues, others may suffer debilitating problems of inattention, anxiety, or mood disorders. It is important for parents and health care professionals alike to address these concerns early in their diagnosis as this can have a big impact on the quality of life for both the patient and their support system.
This webinar will cover:
• Prevalence of mental health conditions in children and youth with epilepsy compared to the general population and peers with other chronic medical conditions
• Risk factors associated with co-occurrence of epilepsy and mental health conditions
