In this episode of Welbodi, we focus on the growing discrimination against people living with epilepsy, as the world marks International Epilepsy Day on February 10, 2025.
Despite being one of the most common neurological conditions, epilepsy remains widely misunderstood, with many individuals facing stigma, social exclusion, and limited access to healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.
We break down the science behind epilepsy—how seizures occur, what triggers them, and how they can be managed.
Joining us for expert insight is Dr. Temitope Farombi, a Geriatric Neurologist and CEO of the Brain Health Initiative Nigeria.
She discusses the latest advancements in epilepsy treatment, common misconceptions, and practical strategies for managing the condition effectively.
