You can minimise potential risks of injury related to a seizure by assessing your home environment and putting some measures in place.
An understanding of potential seizure triggers can help you make more informed decisions about your safety. So, for example, if you have forgotten to take your medication, you may want to avoid riskier activities for the day as this can increase the risk of a seizure.
Every person’s circumstances and needs are unique and need to be considered when assessing risks and benefits of activities and daily living.
