I am a 34 year old female who was diagnosed with epilepsy. I am very nervous following this diagnosis. What are the treatment options for epilepsy?

Medications are usually the first line of treatment. Surgery or computer based devices may be used in uncontrolled patients. Please talk to a neurologist for more details.
If you have no reversible instigating factors, MEDICATION with anti-convulsants is the main treatment modality. NO medicine is perfect, but with the new medications now available, your neurologist will likely be able to find one that will control your seizures with minimal side effects.
