Epilepsy Niagara is a non-medical support services organization.  We do not offer medical advice, nor do we have any medical assistants on staff.


The material at this site is to provide general information about epilepsy and seizure disorders to the general public.  It is also to provide information about Epilepsy Niagara, its staff, programs, events, and services to the public at large.  The information on this website is not intended to be taken as medical advice.  Although this material has been thoroughly researched and is believed to be correct, Epilepsy Niagara accepts no liability.  Consult your physician and/or neurologist with any medical questions you have.

People with epilepsy should never discontinue anti-epileptic medications or make changes in activities unless specifically advised to do so by their attending physician.

It is important to remember that it is advantageous to research types of seizures and different types of seizure disorders, but please remember that self-diagnosis is not a true diagnosis.  If you suspect that you are experiencing symptoms of seizures, or you are experiencing new symptoms, it is imperative that you contact your physician and/or neurologist for a medical diagnosis and treatment.
