Epilepsy & Suicide: Breaking The Silence - Andrea Cipriani
Listen on
Episode notes
Sometimes people with an epilepsy take their own lives - and this is more common that many realise. Psychiatrist & researcher Prof. Andrea Cipriani joins Torie to talk of the psychiatric symptoms of the epilepsies, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, and even suicide; expressing the need for joined-up care between neurology and psychiatry, and why lived experience must shape treatment, management, and where possible; prevention. It’s a powerful call for holistic, person-centred support!
