Emotional response of a preschooler to her mother’s epileptic seizure

Epilepsy is a chronic disease that may significantly affect family members in a variety of ways. Psychosocial problems can occur in a family if one of its members has epilepsy; however, literature on this topic is sparse. Most commonly, siblings’ or parents’ psychosocial adaptations to a child with epilepsy are studied. There are few attempts to determine toddlers’ and preschoolers’ reactions to parental epilepsy.
