Item description

Epilepsy is a common condition of the brain in which a person has a tendency to have recurrent unprovoked seizures.

About 70 per cent of people with epilepsy gain control of their seizures with medication. People who continue to have seizures are more vulnerable to the potential safety risks associated with seizures, especially when seizures occur without warning and impair awareness.

Epilepsy, like other long-term conditions such as asthma or diabetes, comes with certain risks. If left unchecked these can become very serious.

Seizure-related risks are higher when people have poorly controlled seizures. Good seizure control is the first step in reducing seizure-related risks.

Epilepsy and your safety
Anything that affects a person’s conscious state, awareness or judgement can increase the risk of accidents.

If you have a seizure, your doctor will advise you in relation to driving, the use of dangerous machinery, working above ground level and general safety issues.

Some people choose to wear a medical alert bracelet or pendant with epilepsy information, in case of an accident. Another option is to carry medical information in your wallet.
