A CHARITY has today launched Scotland’s first-ever national survey seeking to understand the effect epilepsy can have on the mental health of someone who has the neurological condition.
People living with epilepsy, particularly those with uncontrolled and frequent seizures, are more likely to experience mental health issues such as anxiety or depression, as well as to become socially isolated.
Through the survey, entitled It’s Time to Talk about Epilepsy, Epilepsy Scotland wants to hear from as many people as possible who are living with epilepsy, including those whose seizures are controlled through medication.
