Epilepsy and Risk

Epilepsy, like other long-term conditions such as Asthma or Diabetes comes with certain risks. If left unchecked these can become very serious; so knowing about them, & understanding how to reduce them where you can is important, as often there are positive steps you can take.

Finding out about your epilepsy, managing it well, and talking about it is the first step in getting on with your life. There are many organisations for people with epilepsy who can help you with this.

SUDEP Action specialises in risk information to help you stay safe.

Our information is supported by key research on epilepsy risks, epilepsy deaths and SUDEP (which also underpins our safety tools, the SUDEP & Seizure Safety Checklist and EpSMon)  

Whether you live with epilepsy, or know someone who does, check out our information pages below to find out what you need to know to help balance risk and live well with epilepsy.
