SUDEP Resources
For Patients & Caregivers
Learning that you or your loved one has epilepsy or another seizure disorder can be challenging to process. But knowing about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) risk factors, prevention, and how to help a loved one in an emergency can be life-saving.
For Medical Professionals
It is essential for all medical professionals to be educated about SUDEP and its risk factors. Healthcare providers need to stress to patients that seizures should never be missed, and every effort should be made for the patient’s parents or caregivers to be alerted if a seizure occurs. Disclosing information about SUDEP and its risk factors to patients and caregivers is critical for preventing deaths due to epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
