About this listen

We have come a long way in our understanding of epilepsy and seizures.

Historically, epilepsy was associated with possession and demonic forces.

Modern medicine has helped us to understand that epilepsy is an electrical disorder of the brain that can affect an area or the entire brain itself.

Unfortunately, a lot of stigma and misinformation remains about epilepsy and it is an important condition to be aware of.

This is the story of epilepsy.

Our special guest:

Professor Mark Cook who is the Director of Neurology and Chair of Medicine at St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne. He was awarded the Order of Australia in 2023.
