Living with epilepsy often means more than managing seizures—many patients also face depression, anxiety, and social isolation. These challenges may stem from the seizures themselves, shared neurological causes, or side effects of anti-seizure medications. At the University of Minnesota, our team provides comprehensive mental health care tailored to the unique needs of people with epilepsy, including counseling, medication management, and supportive therapy.
We also lead innovative research in non-invasive neuromodulation and ketamine-based treatments, offering new hope for patients with treatment-resistant mood symptoms. Through close collaboration with world-class interventional psychiatrists, we ensure integrated, forward-thinking care that supports both emotional and neurological well-being.
