Welcome to epilepsy.com, your online source for information, community and resources aimed at your experience with epilepsy. Our site features information about epilepsy and furthers the vision of the Epilepsy Therapy Project to create a powerful resource for everyone involved in caring for, or treating, those with epilepsy.

Who is epilepsy.com?

The epilepsy.com Editorial Board writes, places, and reviews the content throughout epilepsy.com and epilepsy.com/professionals. This team is proud to provide more than 7,500 pages of in-depth information about epilepsy and seizures to help further the mission of the Epilepsy Therapy Project.

Information For ...

This menu in the top right corner of the screen gives you access to information specific to Kids, Teens, Women, Families & Caregivers, and Seniors. As we continue to learn about how epilepsy affects people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities, we'll continue to add valuable information to these sections.

Resources at the Top of Every Page

Important resources follow you along the top bar on all pages through epilepsy.com. Including this page for First-Time Visitors, a Toolbox including links to Find a Doctor, a Seizure Medicines database, Seizure First Aid, and Animations of a Seizure compliment the tools that help sustain the Epilepsy Therapy Project, including online Donations and Shop.epilepsy.com.
