Children with concurrent epilepsy and anxiety have volumetric brain changes similar to those observed in nonepileptic patients with anxiety, new research shows.
“Frequently, anxiety in epilepsy is viewed as a result of the unpredictability of seizures and is not treated,” Jana Jones, PhD, assistant professor in neuropsychology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, told Medscape Medical News.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
