Seizure dogs can offer meaningful support, but it is important to understand what they can and cannot do.

Some dogs may assist during or after a seizure by staying nearby, alerting others, activating a call system, or providing comfort and emotional support. However, seizure-alert ability is not guaranteed.

According to the Epilepsy Foundation, while some dogs seem to sense seizures before they start, “this is rare and more research is needed to understand and verify what is happening.”

For individuals and families living with epilepsy, a seizure dog may be one helpful part of a broader care and safety plan. It should not replace medical guidance, medication routines, seizure action plans, or emergency support.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we believe clear education helps families make informed, realistic decisions about epilepsy care.

Seizures can affect people at every age, including older adults.

Sometimes symptoms can overlap with changes in memory, cognition, medication side effects, or other health concerns, which is why careful evaluation matters. At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we encourage families and care teams to ask questions, track symptoms, and seek support when something feels different.

Older adults deserve answers, understanding, and care that looks at the full picture.

For some patients, starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if they are not sure what to expect.

In this video, Marna Anderson, Adult Psychotherapist at Minnesota Epilepsy Group, shares a simple but powerful patient story: someone came in guarded and unsure, and by the end of the conversation, they were surprised to realize, “that was therapy.”

At MEG, mental health support is part of caring for the whole person. Sometimes therapy begins with a conversation that feels safe, open, and human, helping patients feel heard as they navigate life with epilepsy.

Living with epilepsy can affect more than seizures. It can also bring anxiety, uncertainty, isolation, and the emotional weight of adjusting to a new reality.

In this video, Marna Anderson, Adult Psychotherapist at Minnesota Epilepsy Group, shares how psychotherapy can help patients move from crisis and hopelessness toward support, self-advocacy, and a stronger sense of direction.

At MEG, epilepsy care includes understanding the whole person. Mental health support can be an important part of helping patients live with more confidence, connection, and hope alongside their epilepsy.

If you or someone you know is in immediate emotional crisis, call or text 988 for confidential support.

On National Relaxation Day, we are reminded that rest is more than a pause. It is part of caring for the whole person.

For individuals and families living with epilepsy, stress, emotions, sleep, relationships, and daily routines can all affect quality of life. Mental health support should be part of the conversation, alongside medical care.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, comprehensive epilepsy care means caring for the mind and body. If stress, anxiety, mood changes, or daily challenges are affecting you or your loved one, talk with your epilepsy care team. You deserve care that sees the whole picture.

Fact-check note: CDC recognizes that epilepsy can affect mental health and that support is important. Stress is also commonly discussed as a concern for people with epilepsy.

Exciting milestone for epilepsy care in our community.
This LITT procedure at Allina Health was truly a collaborative effort. We are especially proud of Dr Jessica Winslow and the Minnesota Epilepsy Group team, who led the comprehensive epilepsy evaluation and worked closely with Kyle Nelson at Allina Health to bring this patient through surgical evaluation and ultimately to LITT.
Congratulations to everyone involved in expanding advanced epilepsy care for patients in Minnesota.

Teens with epilepsy deserve support, independence, and a plan.

On International Youth Day, observed August 12, we recognize the strength, potential, and growing independence of young people living with epilepsy. Consistent medication routines, healthy sleep habits, and an updated seizure action plan can help teens feel prepared at home, at school, and in the community. Open conversations with teachers, school nurses, coaches, and trusted friends can also help ensure that others understand how to provide support when needed.

Building confidence means helping teens understand their condition, ask questions, communicate their needs, and gradually take an active role in their care. With the right education and encouragement, young people with epilepsy can advocate for themselves, pursue their goals, and continue doing the things that matter to them.

Behind every EEG is a trained technologist paying close attention.

An EEG technologist helps place electrodes for the test, but their role goes beyond setup. They observe the patient, watch for subtle clues, and help gather information that physicians can use when evaluating neurological conditions, including seizures and epilepsy.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, this teamwork matters. EEG technologists are an important part of the care process, helping connect what happens during the test with the expertise of the physicians who interpret the results.

It is careful work, meaningful work, and for many patients, an important step toward answers.

What is an EEG, and why does it matter?

An EEG, or electroencephalography, is a test that records the brain’s electrical activity using electrodes placed on the scalp. For patients being evaluated for seizures or epilepsy, this information can help physicians better understand what may be happening in the brain.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, EEG technologists and physicians work together to turn this brain activity into meaningful information that can support diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care.

Understanding the test can make the process feel less intimidating, and that is part of compassionate epilepsy care.

Epilepsy care does not stop after delivery.

During World Breastfeeding Week, we’re reminding new parents living with epilepsy to talk with their epileptologist about seizure medications, breastfeeding questions, sleep disruption, and postpartum safety planning.

Before making any medication changes, connect with your care team. The right plan can support both seizure control and life with a new baby.

Minnesota Epilepsy Group is here to support epilepsy care through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum life.
