Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain and can develop quickly, making it a medical emergency. It may be caused by viral infections or autoimmune conditions and often presents with symptoms such as fever, confusion, memory changes, or seizures.

Seizures are common during encephalitis and, for some individuals, may continue after recovery. Long term neurologic follow up is often essential to address ongoing symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, including epilepsy.

On World Encephalitis Day, we share this information to raise awareness, support early recognition, and encourage timely medical care.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we are committed to providing specialized epilepsy and neurologic care for patients affected by encephalitis, working closely with individuals and families every step of the way.

Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects the brain and nervous system, impacting development, movement, communication, and learning. Epilepsy is common in Angelman syndrome and often begins in early childhood, making specialized care essential.

Beyond seizures, individuals with Angelman syndrome may experience challenges with mobility, sleep, and communication. Every person’s experience is unique, which is why comprehensive, team based care and close partnership with families is so important.

By spreading awareness, we help promote earlier diagnosis, improve access to specialized care, and support ongoing research that continues to advance treatment and quality of life.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we are committed to providing individualized epilepsy care for patients with rare and complex conditions, working alongside families every step of the way.

Research is a core philosophy driving the care provided at Minnesota Epilepsy Group.

In recognition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we acknowledge the invaluable impact that greater representation of women and girls brings to the scientific community and to patient care. Diverse perspectives strengthen research, drive innovation, and help move medicine forward.

While we deeply appreciate every member of our research team, today we offer special recognition to the women investigators, research coordinators, nurses, and clinicians whose dedication helps bring cutting edge treatment options to our patients. Their work expands access to emerging therapies and supports better outcomes and quality of life for people living with epilepsy.

We are grateful for their expertise, leadership, and commitment to advancing epilepsy care.

Epilepsy is not always visible.

Many people living with epilepsy may look fine on the outside, but manage seizures, medication side effects, anxiety, memory challenges, or fatigue every day. These invisible challenges can affect work, school, relationships, and daily life, even when nothing appears different.

Epilepsy looks different for every person. You cannot tell who is living with it just by looking.

On International Epilepsy Day, we recognize the strength of those navigating epilepsy and the importance of understanding, compassion, and awareness.

If you or someone you love is living with epilepsy, you are not alone.

Sometimes the most important part of epilepsy care happens outside the exam room.

In this video, Marshall shares a moment when a patient was struggling to access her seizure medication after moving back to Minnesota. Unsure of where to turn next, she needed guidance, reassurance, and timely support to help prevent another seizure.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, caring for patients means meeting them where they are, listening honestly, and helping them navigate next steps one piece at a time. Ensuring access to medication and continuity of care can make a critical difference in safety and quality of life.

This is what compassionate, patient centered epilepsy care looks like.

Living with epilepsy is not just about managing seizures, it is about being heard.

In this patient story, Rachel shares her journey with epilepsy following a traumatic brain injury and what it has meant to receive care at Minnesota Epilepsy Group. From her first hospitalization as a teenager to ongoing care today, she highlights the importance of being listened to, taken seriously, and treated as a whole person.

Through her care with Jessica Winslow, Rachel describes a collaborative approach where concerns are addressed, plans are made together, and patients feel humanized, not rushed or dismissed.

This is what patient centered epilepsy care looks like.

As the New-Patient Care Coordinator at Minnesota Epilepsy Group, Kaitlyn Kowalski helps families take the first step in their care journey.

Today we recognize 1 in 26 Day, a reminder that 1 in 26 people in the United States will develop epilepsy. Epilepsy looks different for everyone. You cannot tell by looking at someone, and many people also navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, learning challenges, or other medical conditions.

Awareness helps us better understand and support the individuals and families affected by epilepsy.

If you know someone with epilepsy, or if you live with epilepsy yourself, please share this video to help spread awareness.

In this staff story, Marshal Floyd, a member of our Patient Services team at Minnesota Epilepsy Group, shares a meaningful moment that reflects the heart of our work. He describes a young patient who, after years of managing epilepsy and staying closely connected with our clinic, finally reached a milestone they had long hoped for — returning to swim class and confidently enjoying summer activities after a long period of being seizure free.

For Marshal and our entire team, updates like this are more than medical progress. They are reminders of resilience, partnership, and the profound impact that personalized, consistent care can make in a family’s life.

As we continue our Staff Stories series, we invite you to share your own experiences with Minnesota Epilepsy Group. Your journeys inspire us and help others feel supported and understood.
