Epilepsy treatment is not one-size-fits-all.

In this video, epileptologist Dr. Jessica Winslow explains the different tools that may be used to understand and manage epilepsy. These can include EEG testing, antiseizure medications, surgical treatments or devices, and education about lifestyle factors that may affect seizures and quality of life.

The right approach depends on the individual, their type of seizures, and their personal needs and goals.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we understand that every epilepsy journey is different. Our team is here to listen, answer questions, and help patients explore the options that may be appropriate for them. Reach out or visit our website to learn more.

Not every seizure-like episode is caused by epilepsy, but every episode deserves to be taken seriously.

Non-epileptic events can involve changes in awareness, movements, or unusual sensations that may look like epileptic seizures. However, these events do not involve the abnormal brainwave activity associated with epilepsy. Their underlying cause may be related to stress, mood, or another medical condition.

In this video, epileptologist Dr. Jessica Winslow explains why an accurate diagnosis and evaluation by a knowledgeable, multidisciplinary team are essential to finding the appropriate treatment.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we understand how confusing and concerning these events can be. Our team is here to listen, help identify what may be happening, and guide patients and families toward appropriate care. Reach out to us or visit our website to learn more.

Children with epilepsy may face more than seizures. They can also experience emotional, social, and developmental challenges, including anxiety about seizure activity or difficulty adjusting to a diagnosis.

In this video, Sara Zimmermann explains how therapy can provide children and families with a safe space to process these experiences, develop coping skills, and find practical tools for navigating everyday life.

If your child is living with epilepsy and could benefit from comprehensive, whole-person support, visit Minnesota Epilepsy Group’s website or contact our team to learn more and request an appointment.

Can my child still play sports, attend sleepovers, and enjoy the activities they love after an epilepsy diagnosis?

In this video, nurse Grace Perrenoud addresses one of the most common questions families ask after a new diagnosis. The goal is for children to continue being children and participating in everyday life. Some activities may require additional planning or a personalized conversation with their healthcare provider, but an epilepsy diagnosis does not have to define a child’s entire life.

If your child has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy, Minnesota Epilepsy Group can help your family understand what comes next. Visit our website or contact our team to learn more and request an appointment.

Understanding epilepsy can help patients feel more confident and involved in their care.

In this video, Dr. Micaela Chatman shares her commitment to explaining complex information clearly, learning what matters to each patient, and helping them evaluate the treatment options available to them.

Because every person’s experience with epilepsy is different, Dr. Chatman believes patients should be active participants in decisions about their health. By building genuine connections and creating space for questions, she helps patients feel comfortable, respected, and heard.

Medication safety is a team effort. Pharmacists, patients, caregivers, and epilepsy providers all play an important role in supporting safe and effective treatment.

Regular prescription reviews, planning ahead for refills, checking potential medication interactions, discussing side effects, and maintaining clear communication can help prevent problems and keep everyone informed.

Never hesitate to ask questions about your medications or report new symptoms to your care team. Working together helps patients make informed decisions and supports healthier futures.

The 2026 theme, “Empowering pharmacists for healthier futures,” recognizes pharmacists as essential partners in patient care.
