What will happen to a person with epilepsy if he does not take his medicine?

A person with epilepsy who does not take their medication may experience an increased frequency and severity of seizures. This can have a significant impact on their life, including:

- Difficulty performing everyday activities, such as going to work or school, driving, or socializing

- Increased risk of injury or accidents during a seizure

- Social stigma and discrimination

- Problems with memory, thinking, and concentration

- Depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems

- Increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)

It is important for people with epilepsy to take their medication as prescribed to control their seizures and avoid these potential complications.
