Young adult daughter opposed to brain surgery
Brain & Nervous System | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
Hello,
She has not researched it at all to my knowledge. I have provided links and videos but she doesn't even like me to talk to her about it. She says that epilepsy controls every aspect of her life so not talking about it is the only way to get some respite. I believe that she still has not accepted her diagnosis and that must happen before she engages in her treatment plan.

I’m so sorry for all you and your daughter/family are going through. Are you seeing a mental health specialist to help support you and your daughter during this time? Is your daughter open to an objective outsider who can talk to her about her condition and options and potential risks for not treating her condition?
What types of seizures does she have now? Does she become unconscious and has she ever fallen/been injured after having a seizure? It is really important to not be alone if you are epileptic and to be careful near stairs, in bathtubs or pools, or in positions that could cause asphyxiation after having a seizure.
