Since seizures are a function of some condition in a patient's brain, a neurologist can first diagnose the source and type of seizures the patient has. There are several causes of seizures and it is vital to determine the exact cause. From there the neurologist will know how to treat the exact condition diagnosed whether by medication or surgery. The doctor will be able to prescribe the best medication or combination of medications available and tolerable by the patient. Not every anti-convulsant medication works in every situation. Sometimes more than one is needed and it takes some trial and error to determine the most effective treatment.
