About 30 anti-seizure medications are currently approved to treat epilepsy.
About 6 in 10 people may control their seizures with the first or second medicine.
Yet a survey of adults in the community found that 56% still have seizures.
Neurologists are specialized doctors in treating epilepsy.
If the seizures are not controlled with 2 or more medications, one will be evaluated at an epilepsy center where options beyond medications are possible.
Epilepsy surgery, Vagus Nerve Stimulations and Ketogenic diet are other methods of treatment.
