When Dr. Amee Shah’s epilepsy, long under control, returned, she faced a tough question: should she share her story? After keeping seizures a secret her whole life, she chose to open up. While many people were supportive, others were not – even requesting Amee to take down social media posts about her epilepsy. Instead of letting that hold her back, Amee turned it into fuel for advocacy, becoming a public voice for epilepsy awareness.
