There are genetic, structural, and metabolic causes, but most epilepsy syndromes have some genetic predisposition. The importance of genetics in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy has been increasingly recognized over the past 2 decades. With increased access to testing tools and new recommendations that all patients with unexplained epilepsy get genetic testing, it is becoming part of routine clinical care. Increased testing has resulted in an explosion in the number of genes and genetic changes identified and it is changing our understanding of the mechanisms of epileptogenesis. Advances in both clinical genetics and scientific discovery are expanding our potential to impact patient care as well as creating dilemmas. This brief review will highlight where we are regarding our ability to obtain a genetic diagnosis, how diagnoses impact patient care, and the next likely frontiers in diagnosis and management.","PeriodicalId":11742,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy Currents","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140300497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality as, “a long-term stress reaction marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of sense of personal accomplishment,” this multifactorial condition has significant implications for the clinicians who suffer it, their patients, and families. Neurologists suffer some of the highest rates of burnout. Burnout research on interventions often focus on the work environment. In this article, we will focus on burnout’s effects on home life and features of home life that can impact resiliency, specifically sleep hygiene.","PeriodicalId":11742,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy Currents","volume":"143 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140166436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
