Epilepsy is not a mental illness or psychiatric disorder. Epilepsy is not infectious or contagious. Epilepsy is a physical condition characterised by unusual electrical activity in the brain. National Director of Epilepsy South Africa joins Yolanda Maartens this Epilepsy Week to stamp out the stigma associated with epilepsy. They also unpack the importance of accommodating employees with epilepsy in the workplace. Inform yourself of your rights if you are a person living with epilepsy and find out where you can get support by contacting Epilepsy SA online at www.epilepsy.org.za
