36. Redefining Epilepsy: Language, Challenges, and Community Initiatives (Q&A Series)

Why is epilepsy highly stigmatized, particularly in low and middle-income countries? Join me as we learn together.  We revisit our previous discussion in episodes 34 and 35, we attempt to answer the following questions that will take us further into understanding this often misunderstood condition:

1. What are the changes in language or terminology when we speak about epilepsy?
2. What is Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and what do we know about how it is caused?
3. What are the different ways people develop epilepsy in low and middle-income countries?
4. Why is funding so limited when it comes to epilepsy research in these nations?
5. What are the myths and stigmas that are linked with epilepsy, especially in low and middle-income countries?
