This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether mindfulness training—a practice focused on awareness and acceptance—can help people with drug-resistant epilepsy (epilepsy that doesn't respond well to medication) feel less anxious and depressed and live better with their condition. You would either receive 12 mindfulness sessions over 3 months, or attend 12 educational sessions about epilepsy. The study will follow you for 9 months total to see how the treatment affects your mood, stress levels, and quality of life.
People with drug-resistant epilepsy often struggle with anxiety and depression, which can make living with the condition harder. This trial exists to see whether teaching mindfulness—rather than adding more medications—might help reduce emotional distress and improve overall well-being.

You would first have a 2-month baseline period where researchers collect information about you without any intervention. Then you would be randomly assigned to either a mindfulness group or an educational group, attending one session per week for 3 months. After that, you would be followed for 6 more months. Throughout the study, you'd have check-in visits every 3 months and keep a daily notebook tracking your seizures and your emotional well-being.
