Epilepsy in older patients
Director:
Enrique Feoli, MD
Program description:
As persons age, their body may respond differently to medical treatments than when younger and multiple health concerns may come up that have the potential of interacting with other health issues and treatments. Because of this, the elderly have unique characteristics that require special expertise to address them. At NEREG we have doctors with specialized training in epilepsy and specific knowledge and interests in the treatment of epilepsy in the elderly population. We also provide the many support systems that older patients require to better cope with epilepsy and improve their quality of life including social services, support groups, education, and psychological services.
