People used to think demonic possession or some sort of psychosis caused seizures. Authorities would throw people living with epilepsy into asylums, where they were usually treated horribly.
These days the lab coat wearing community has a far more profound understanding of the neurological causes of epilepsy. Broader society, however, not so much. The thing is, epilepsy occurs in a reasonably large proportion of our population. It's unlikely you don't have a friend or family member who is affected. They just don't like to talk about it.
Symphony of the Brain decodes and demystifies this often misunderstood and stigmatised condition. This series from the National Epilepsy Support Service brings some of Australia's top neurologists, neuroscientists, clinicians and people with lived experience to explore this fascinating human condition.
