Abstract | Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological problems in childhood and adolescence. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most misunderstood conditions. Epilepsy can interfere with the physical, emotional and social functioning of youth of all ages, particularly if seizures are uncontrolled. Teenagers living with epilepsy face unique challenges as they make the transition from childhood to adulthood and shift away from depending on others to learning how to take care of themselves. Treating seizures effectively and preventing unexpected consequences requires a collaborative effort between health care providers, caregivers, families, and the teenager with epilepsy. This article, which is the first in a year-long series on epilepsy and adolescents, explores how the self-management process may be used to help teens learn to care for themselves, and work with caregivers as "co-managers" and facilitators of their epilepsy care.
