6. What kind of treatment do you recommend for me? Are there risks involved?
   
   
7. How long will I require treatment?
   
   
8. Is there a chance I could have another seizure?
   
   
9. What should I do if I have another seizure?
   
   
10. What can I do to reduce my risk of seizures?
    
    
11. What should I do if my child or loved one has a seizure?
