Recommendations for Family Members of Epileptic Patients
How do I correctly handle seizures?
The Mayo Clinic recommends the following guidelines when confronted with a seizure:
- Be calm.
- Place something soft under their head.
- Carefully roll the person onto one side.
- Do not put anything in their mouth.
- Do not restrain the individual.
- Clear dangerous objects away.
- Stay with the person until medical help arrives.
- Observe the person closely so you can provide details on the seizure circumstances.
- Time the seizure.
- Loosen tight neck-ware.
What hardships do individuals face when dealing with loved ones with epilepsy?
Most of the time our first instinct is to shelter someone who we know is a little different. We do this as a loving friend or family member out of a desire to protect that person. However, coddling an individual with epilepsy will only increase their risk for depression and their perceived independence. The best way to handle individuals in our lives who may suffer from this condition is as normally as possible.
How can family or friends of epileptic individuals cope?
Open lines of communication and regular emotional discussion can help manage the ups and downs that come with a epilepsy diagnosis. You want to make sure everyone is fully educated on the condition, what it is, and what their concerns and opinions are. It is important to be understanding with all individuals involved to aid regular communication. The key is to learn as much as you can about both epilepsy and the successful coping methods of other individuals with the condition.
