Epilepsy doesn’t just affect the body—it can impact emotions, confidence, and daily school life too.

Beyond the seizures, young people with epilepsy often face hidden challenges that affect their mental health and sense of self. Anxiety, low self-esteem, and feeling isolated are common, and the unpredictability of seizures can make everyday school experiences even more difficult. Understanding the emotional side of epilepsy is key to supporting students effectively—both in and out of the classroom.
