Christiana Care Health System opened the state’s first epilepsy monitoring unit in Newark earlier this year. On-site, doctors attempt to induce patients to have seizures so they can make a diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment. Almost half of patients are diagnosed with non-epileptic seizures, usually caused by stress. Such seizures may be cured with cognitive-behavioral therapy, which Christiana Care offers.
