Let's Talk about SUDEP
(Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy)
What is SUDEP?
SUDEP means someone with epilepsy passes away suddenly and unexpectedly.
It’s rare — but it is the most serious complication of epilepsy.
Who is most at risk?
People with frequent seizures, especially tonic-clonic seizures (the kind where you lose consciousness and shake).
If seizures happen at night or medications are missed.
Why does it happen?
Doctors don’t know for certain, but it may be linked to:
Breathing difficulties during or after a seizure
Changes in heart rhythm
Being alone when a seizure happens
