This week we are joined by Leeanne Gaskin, registered nurse educator at the Epilepsy Centre of SA & NT!
Together we discuss epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Leeanne outlines the various causes, including genetic mutations, head injuries, and infections. We continue our conversation to cover the diagnosis and treatment options, including medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes.
With 114 variations of epilepsy, it continues to carry a certain stigma and misunderstanding among the general public. Leeanne details the importance of understanding cultural beliefs and practices surrounding epilepsy, stressing the need for medical professionals to be aware of the signs and symptoms of seizures.
