We talk about what it’s really like to be a young person with epilepsy. We look at why some people feel alone, how to find support, and how building a community can help. We also talk about bullying, mental health, and how to get help when you need it.
In this episode:
Feeling Alone: Why so many young people with epilepsy feel isolated, and what can help.
Building Community: How making friends and joining groups can make life better.
Online Support: How you can get help and join in, wherever you live.
Real Stories: Young people share how meeting others changed their lives.
Bullying and Ignorance: Why it happens, and what we can do about it.
Mental Health: Why it matters, and where to find support.
Hope: You’re not alone—there’s always someone who understands.
NOTICE:
Epilepsy is different for everyone. What works for one person might not work for another. The stories and advice in this podcast are not medical advice. Always talk to a doctor or nurse for help that’s right for you.
