I like the idea of being more aware of triggers by monitoring vitals and habits. I keep telling her to keep a journal (it could be in the notes section of her phone) to record the context of each seizure, what type it was, and how long it lasted so she can develop some sense of what triggers them. I think when someone is that depressed, they just don't have the energy to put towards such things because they are just surviving. It is hard to watch.
I love the idea of a dog! If I could have a service dog, I would be pursuing it immediately myself. She thinks it would be embarrassing to need a dog but she loves animals and I think a constant companion you are allowed to take anywhere would be amazing!
