Life with Epilepsy amandaamandarobar

Happy Thanksgiving & Happy Columbus Day to all my listeners! I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating whether it is with a group of people or on your own. Eat, drink and be merry!

Gatherings and events should be enjoyable. Having epilepsy can sometimes throw a wrench into family gatherings and plans go out the window. If it is going to cause you more stress you have every right not to go. Your health is important and should always come first.

In this episode I will be talking about who can develop epilepsy, the magic number 2, medication & alternative therapy’s and my personal experiences with some of them. One therapy may help one person but not another.

Life is full of ups and downs, but it is important to know when the down times seem like they are spiralling out of control. In this episode I talk about the importance of knowing the signs of depression so you can be there for the person / people you care about. Don’t wait until it is too late.

This is my story of my battle with depression, the importance of knowing where to get help and surrounding yourself with friends in a positive community.

Anxiety is no fun. Add epilepsy to it and it is a nasty mix. However, anxiety is something that comes along with Epilepsy. Try to be patient and understanding with the person.
