Support groups are for people with epilepsy and their loved ones to be able to interact with other people with epilepsy. People with epilepsy who have gone to support groups in the past have reported that attending the support groups helps them to feel as though they are not alone. They might not know anyone else with epilepsy before attending a support group, so going to a group helps them to meet other people who are going through the same experiences. Also, people who have gone to support groups have reported that they find the groups helpful in that they often learn new information about epilepsy.
