Sociology

Stigma and Health-Seeking Behavior in Epilepsy

Quick fact

In low-income countries, up to 75% of people with epilepsy receive no treatment at all, and stigma is often a stronger barrier than the cost or availability of medication.

Imagine having a condition that you cannot even tell your closest friends about, because you fear being seen as unreliable or even possessed. That is the reality for millions of people with epilepsy, and it affects how they seek (or avoid) medical care.
