Ignorance and stigma cling to epilepsy month story
Terrel Barnett leads a South Snohomish epilepsy self help group in Mountlake Terrace amid public ignorance and shame. about 12 epileptics meet monthly, the only support group in South County for an area with an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 affected. Barnett stresses epilepsy is a neurological disorder, not mental illness, and notes that many confuse seizures with mental disturbance. Seizure types vary widely and cause treatments often produce drowsiness. Epilepsy has multiple causes, with about half fully controllable by medical treatment and some not helped by current options.
