The Impact of Epilepsy on Cognitive Function and Quality of Life

Epilepsy has a profound impact on cognitive function and quality of life, affecting function. The cognitive effects of epilepsy may result from the seizures themselves, the underlying brain abnormalities causing the seizures, or the side effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). In addition to cognitive challenges, individuals with epilepsy often face emotional and social difficulties, including stigma, anxiety, and depression, which can further affect their quality of life. The impact on daily activities, such as education, employment, and social interactions, can be significant, leading to reduced opportunities and increased reliance on caregivers. Addressing these issues requires a holistic approach that includes optimizing seizure control through medication or surgery, providing cognitive and psychological support, and fostering social inclusion and educational opportunities. Multidisciplinary care teams, including neurologists, psychologists, and occupational therapists, play a crucial role in managing the cognitive and psychosocial aspects of epilepsy to improve overall quality of life for affected individuals.
