Older Adults & Epilepsy

Seniors are the most rapidly growing population group living with epilepsy. About 3 million U.S. adults ages 18 or older have active epilepsy. Nearly 1 million of those adults are ages 55 or older. It can be difficult to manage epilepsy alone in combination with other chronic health conditions, but with the right knowledge, resources, and support, the journey can be manageable.
Epilepsy in older adults can stem from a childhood diagnosis or emerge as a new diagnosis in older age. In either case, managing epilepsy in older adulthood can come with additional concerns.
