Exams can be stressful.
For children living with epilepsy, exam anxiety needs a little extra care.
The most important thing during exams is discipline:
• Sleep on time — avoid sleep deprivation
• Never miss medicines
• Don’t stop, reduce, or change medicines during exams
• Avoid brand changes or any kind of experimentation
If there is even a doubt of a seizure, or if a seizure occurs, consult your doctor immediately. Don’t wait.
If the child is stable on treatment, continue the same routine. Any changes in medication — even dose reduction — should be discussed after exams, not during them.
Stability, routine, and timely medical guidance help children stay confident and safe through exam time.
