6. How to Manage Epilepsy at Home
One of the best ways to manage epilepsy at home is through family education and awareness. Everyone in the household must understand the condition and know how to help should a seizure begin.
This includes moving heavy furniture or other items out of the way to help keep the person safe. Under no circumstances should family members try to stop the seizure, as this can be extremely dangerous. A seizure that lasts more than 5 minutes should be treated in the hospital, and is a medical emergency.
