About this episode
March is Epilepsy Awareness Month. Epilepsy affects around 250,000 Australians. Chances are, someone in your life has it. And yet, for many of us, our only real reference point for epilepsy is probably a dramatic seizure scene from a TV show - which, as we'll hear today, isn't exactly accurate. Today I'm sitting down with Carol Ireland, CEO at Epilepsy Action Australia, to answer the questions that people genuinely have about epilepsy but maybe haven't known how to ask. From what a seizure actually looks like, to how you support a mate who has it, to what it means to live with a condition that most people can't see.
