Abstract
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) includes aspects of physical, psychological, and social well-being issues for people with epilepsy. QOLIE questionnaires can be used to assess the effects of seizures and medications on cognitive function, memory, mood, physical health, and health perceptions. Monitoring HRQOL in epilepsy allows patients to express their concerns about a variety of issues affected by the diagnosis that often are not brought to the attention of the physician.
