Self-management is what you do to take care of yourself. For people with epilepsy, part of that is being able to recognize the signs of seizures.  Learn why this may be a challenge for older people in CDC’s new feature on older adults and epilepsy. Also, find out more about self-management programs if you, a loved one, or a patient has epilepsy.
