Epilepsy Symptoms, Causes and More
8. Epilepsy Complications
Complications of the condition center on what can happen if it's not properly managed. Inappropriate doses of medication or an ineffective medical approach can cause seizures to worsen, putting the individual at greater risk.
A person may fall during a seizure or contribute to a car accident if they're driving. Brain injuries for a person who already has epilepsy may further worsen the condition and contribute to the development of other comorbidities. There is a small risk of sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
