The purpose of the SEEN study was to document, on a population basis, the development and behaviour of young children with epilepsy. The study also focused on emotional wellbeing, sleep and fatigue in their parents. A comparison group of children with neurodisability were included; these children did not have epilepsy but had other neurological or neurodevelopmental problems. This comparison allowed us to study whether having a child with epilepsy, specifically, has an impact on parental functioning.
