This National Doctors’ Day, we’re celebrating more than a physician; we’re celebrating a mission. Dr. Preeti Gupta opened NeuroLogic to provide thoughtful, specialized care for those living with seizures and epilepsy. Her commitment to education, advocacy, and patient-centered care impacts our entire community.

We’d also like to honor an incredible community of physicians in Rhode Island and across the country, including the next generation of MD26 future physicians, who are dedicated to compassionate care, innovation, and making a difference every day.

Do Your Seizures Have Triggers? For some people, seizures follow a pattern — and learning what triggers them can make a big difference in managing epilepsy.

✨ What are seizure triggers? Triggers are situations or factors that may increase the chance of a seizure. Not everyone has them, and they can look different for each person.

Common triggers include:
• Lack of sleep
• Stress or illness
• Missed medications
• Alcohol
• Hormonal changes
• Flashing lights

Keeping a seizure diary helps identify patterns, such as seizures occurring during sleep, stressful times, or at certain points in the month. Over time, this can help you and your care team adjust treatment and reduce risk.

✔️ Track seizures, sleep, stress, and medications
✔️ Note timing and symptoms
✔️ Bring your log to appointments
✔️ Adjust habits once triggers are identified

Understanding your triggers = better control and confidence.
We’re here to help you every step of the way.

Epilepsy affects women differently. Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause can influence seizure patterns, and symptoms may be subtle, sometimes mistaken for stress or anxiety.

Understanding these differences is essential for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.

Learn more in our latest blog: https://www.neurologiccenter.com/blog/epilepsy-in-women-how-symptoms-triggers-and-treatment-can-differ

Epilepsy affects people of all genders, but for women, seizures can be influenced by unique biological and hormonal factors that require special attention. Recognizing how epilepsy manifests differently in women and how treatment may need to be customized can significantly improve symptom management

How does sleep affect seizures? 😴🧠 Sleep and epilepsy are closely connected, and getting enough rest plays a bigger role than many people realize.

🔹 Lack of sleep is a common seizure trigger
🔹 Some seizure types happen mostly during sleep or right after waking
🔹 Epilepsy itself can disrupt sleep quality
🔹 Certain seizure medications may cause drowsiness or insomnia

When sleep is off, seizures can become more frequent or harder to control. The good news? Improving sleep habits can help reduce seizure risk and support overall brain health.

If you’re having trouble sleeping, talk with your neurologist or primary care provider. Identifying sleep issues early can make a meaningful difference in seizure management and quality of life.

Your brain needs rest to function at its best. ♥️
