The terms “refractory,” “intractable,” or “drug-resistant” seizures could be a clue to an underlying condition such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). For those experiencing uncontrolled seizures, or living with someone who does, it’s important to learn what may be causing them. Seeking a specific diagnosis may uncover an underlying condition and knowing earlier could mean all the difference. It can open a door to treatment options, provide access to foundations and grants or financial assistance, connect you with a supportive community of others who can share their experience, and much more.
