The new movie, Secretariat, is inspiring and motivating. It has a lot to do with living life with Epilepsy!

For many with Epilepsy and seizures, depression and the association with Epilepsy is top of mind, but it can be an embarrassing and many times debilitating illness.

In a new study, researchers found an increased risk of suicide, attempted suicide or “self-harm” only among current users of certain newer medications that had previously been linked to a risk of depression.

Unless you are strong enough and conscientious enough to take matters into your own hands, you can become a bit of a ‘shut-in’ with Epilepsy.

Blame the winter months…the cold and the snow, or call it the post-holiday blues. Whatever you believe might be happening, if you have Epilepsy and you experience the symptoms, chances are good you are suffering from depression.
