Women and girls with epilepsy have unique health concerns. As a result of these differences, women with epilepsy can face special challenges.

This includes issues relating to reproductive health, hormonal and menstrual cycles, contraception, bone health, parenting, menopause, and usage of certain anti-epileptic medications.

Our Women in Mind program includes resource kits which contain information specifically for women and girls living with epilepsy.

We also host lectures and highlight new developments and research about women's health and epilepsy.

A list of our related Information Sheets, lectures, news alerts, research findings, and other useful sources of information are found below.
