Read our Epilepsy research guide →This trial is testing a new care model for young people with epilepsy who are transitioning from pediatric (children's) doctors to adult neurologists. The study brings together pediatric neuropsychiatrists and adult neurologists to work as a team, making sure that psychiatric and mental health issues alongside epilepsy are properly diagnosed and treated during this important transition period.
Many young people with epilepsy also struggle with anxiety, depression, or other psychiatric conditions that can make their epilepsy harder to manage and hurt their quality of life. Pediatric and adult care teams often work separately, which can lead to gaps in care. This trial exists to create a smoother handoff between these teams and ensure psychiatric comorbidities are not overlooked.

You will work with a coordinated team of pediatric neuropsychiatrists and adult neurologists as you transition from pediatric to adult epilepsy care. You will receive thorough psychiatric and neurological evaluations to identify and manage any mental health conditions alongside your epilepsy, and the team will help plan your ongoing treatment and support needs. The exact schedule and visits will be arranged with the study team based on your individual care needs.
