Abstract
Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate seizures, unprovoked by any immediate central nervous system insult, and by the neuro-biologic, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of seizure recurrences. It significantly impacts children's health and wellbeing. Anti-seizure medications Adherence (ASMs) is crucial for optimal control of seizure and improved quality of life, but non-adherence remains a critical challenge.
