On this episode of Science with Millennials, we talk all about epilepsy and how it affects Coty’s life. We also talk about the different types of seizures as well as what it means to be disabled with epilepsy and non epileptic seizures. We address old myths that are quite outrageous about epilepsy as well! Be sure to be on the lookout for a future episode where we talk about Rachel’s genetic disorder and how her disability affects her life.
