Epilepsy and Teens: Counseling advice on managing epilepsy as an adolescent (Episode 172)

  • Resumen

  • According to the CDC, approximately 0.6% of children aged 0-17 have active epilepsy, so in a school of 1,000 students, this means 6 of them could have epilepsy. Adolescence is a time when patients have more autonomy in caring for their chronic disease and have changes in lifestyle factors, which could be risk factors for increased seizures. In this episode, Lawrence Fried, MD, a pediatric neurologist, and Zia Gajary, MD, a primary care pediatrician, help us understand how to counsel teen patients and their caregivers about managing epilepsy during adolescence, including topics such as driving, sports, contraception, drugs, college, and more! Their HRSA grant has enhanced teen epilepsy education at CHOP and they share their tips in this podcast episode.
