Genetic Risk of Epilepsy
Hello,
I have a friend diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 10 years old. She had very minor episodes like dropping milk glass when she was young. She stopped taking valproate (200 mg) 3 years back and had one major episode recently when sleep deprived.
She is worried about genetic risk of epilepsy? Online there are a lot of differing views. What's the consensus.
Thanks
