Children with epilepsy are at significant risk for ADHD.

Epilepsy

Consequences
ADHD and epilepsy have significant consequences on a child's behavioral, learning, and social development. Physical, emotional, and social functioning of youth are interfered specifically if seizures are uncontrolled. Some other noted consequences on repeated seizures are neuronal loss, gliosis, parenhymal microhemorrhages, excess of starch bodies, leptomeningeal thickening, subpial gliosis, perivascular gliosis and periavascular atrophy. But these consequences are dependant on age, etiology, seizure duration, and frequency. A collaborative effort between health care providers, caregivers, families, and teenagers with epilepsy is required to prevent these consequences.
