| Quality of life It is expected to find a mean difference in quality of life between the control group and the intervention group with the highest scores in the intervention group. In addition, quality of life is expected to improve throughout the study in the intervention group. The "Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-31 (QOLIE-31)" will be used to collect this outcome.;Cognitive Function The intervention group is expected to improve cognitive function scores throughout the study and compared to the control group. To collect this outcome, the following instruments will be used: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), Trail Making Test, Digit, Stroop and Verbal Fluency.;Depression The intervention group is expected to have lower median depression levels compared to the control group and reduce these scores throughout the study. The Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E) will be used for data collection.;Anxiety The intervention group is expected to have lower median anxiety levels compared to the control group and reduce these scores throughout the study. The short-form version of the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI-S-6; STAI-T-6) will be used for data collection.;Side Effects of Antiepileptics The intervention group is expected to have lower median Side Effects levels compared to the control group and reduce these scores throughout the study.The Adverse Events Profile will be used for data collection. | — |
