| Sumario: | Epilepsy is a neglected noncommunicable condition in this era. Therefore, it is imperative that practical approaches to enhance the management of epilepsy for the success of people living with epilepsy (PLWE) be analyzed and described. The chapter will encompass the challenges faced by people living with epilepsy, their needs, the PLWE resilience and coping strategies, epileptic seizure first-aid management, and support for people living with epilepsy. The issues aforementioned can potentially shape the future of the people living with epilepsy if attended to effectively. It is high time that epilepsy and people living with epilepsy are given the attention they require to reduce the stigma attached, misconceptions, maltreatment, mismanagement, and negative cultural and religious beliefs, as this will encourage the people living with epilepsy to accept themselves and partake in the family, community, school, and societal engagements without any fear. |
