Abstract

A chronic childhood illness directly impacts the overall support system, which also plays a role in parental stress, thus leading to the disturbing family process. Children with long-term disease may exhibit behavioral problems that are more common in epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological condition with recurrent spontaneous seizures in children. This article examines the multifaceted nature of the crisis burden among young children living with severe epilepsy in their initial years of life and their parents. Childhood epilepsy is often related to family socioeconomic and psychosocial factors. It gives a road map for the future care of children with epilepsy and even their family members to strengthen their epilepsy control and care efforts in the early years of life.
