This episode explores the intersection of seizure disorders, particularly temporal lobe epilepsy, with mental health. We talk about the prevalence of misdiagnosis, and about common symptoms and treatments in temporal lobe epilepsy and bipolar.
Note: While some underlying factors may be identical, these are distinct illnesses, and should be treated as such.
