Read our Epilepsy research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests whether a coordinated care approach can help people with epilepsy who are struggling with anxiety or depression. Instead of managing these conditions separately, you would work with a team that includes a social worker, psychiatrist, and your regular neurologist all working together. The goal is to see whether this team-based approach improves your quality of life and mental health over 24 weeks.
Many people with epilepsy experience anxiety and depression, but these mental health conditions are often treated separately from epilepsy care. This trial exists to find out whether bringing these care teams together—so they can communicate and coordinate treatment—works better than the usual approach of managing everything on your own.

If you join the collaborative care group, you will work with a care team that includes a social worker and psychiatrist in addition to your regular neurologist. Over 24 weeks, you will have visits and check-ins where the team coordinates your care, monitors your mental health and epilepsy together, and adjusts treatment as needed. Some participants will receive the usual neurology care without the added team support, which helps researchers understand whether the team approach truly makes a difference.
