    • Epilepsy presents an additional layer of complexity to adolescent development.
    • Seizure conditions can disrupt the timely completion of developmental tasks.
    • Interference with development can impact self-image, identity, and independence.

    Conclusions:

    • Epilepsy significantly impacts the developmental trajectory of adolescents.
    • Addressing the unique needs of adolescents with epilepsy is crucial for healthy development.
    • Interventions may be needed to support developmental task completion in this population.
