Brief Summary

Epilepsy is the most common serious neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting approximately 0.9% of children and adolescents worldwide. Although epileptic seizures are an important element of epilepsy in children, there are many neurological, mental health and cognitive comorbidities in childhood epilepsy that increase the burden of the disease and cause a decrease in quality of life. Motivational interviewing has been found to have a positive effect on the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases; It is a patient-centered counseling that explores, strengthens, and directs the individual's motivation for change.
