Risk prevention session
The patient will have a consultation dedicated to information on the risks with the neurologist within 1 to 3 months (during this period, the patient must complete the seizure diary). An appointment with the psychologist within 2 weeks +/- 1 week following the risk discussion consultation will also be scheduled. In this interval of 2 weeks, the patient will have the possibility of reaching the neurologist, the psychologist or the nurse by telephone if he feels the need. Then participants will be proposed the therapeutic education session including a workshop called ""Recognizing and Managing the Risks of Epilepsy". The last visit 3 months after the last session will assess differents questionnaires/scales including the Epilepsy Self Management Scale (ESMS).
Usual Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) management
The control group will have usual follow-up including consultations with the neurologist and follow-up of the usual TPE program, namely the individual interview and follow-up of the usual TPE workshops for each center.
