Epilepsy can impact our memory and cognitive function in many ways. This episode will help understand the processes occurring in our brains and how to help deal with the challenges we face. It also provides a range of individuals' experiences with epilepsy and its impacts on day to day function and well-being.

The HOBSCOTCH (Home Based Self-Management and Cognitive Training Changes Lives) Program I discussed is available in several parts of the world. Search HOBSCOTCH followed by the place you live to determine if it is available to you!
