Brief Summary
The Epilepsy Patient Education (EPE) is very important for the comprehension of the disease and its management. The EPE allows patients and caregivers to acquire together some autonomy and some skills that will help them live better with the disease.The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a program of educational activities (EA) on the quality of life of epileptic patients measured by the validated scale Quality Of Life in Epilepsy -31 (QOLIE-31).Investigators hope a difference in improving the quality of life score of 25% between the 2 groups.
