Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes seizures due to discrepancies in the brain's electrical activity. Seizures can vary in frequency and intensity, and epilepsy is one of the most prevalent conditions domestically and worldwide, affecting nearly three and a half million people in the United States. Fortunately, treatment options are available in a wide range.
Trinity Health has a Level IV designation from the National Association of Epilepsy Centers, which is the highest possible recognition that offers treatment across West Michigan.
Dr. Desiree Markantone, Epileptologist at Trinity Health, visited the Mix to talk about the condition and how Trinity Health provides advanced care for patients.
