Our Need To Manage Stress - Neil Shah, the Stress Management Society, UK.

Stress and anxiety levels are incredibly high amongst the population of those with an epilepsy and are commonly seizure triggers. Neil Shah of the Stress Management Society speaks of stress in today's society, the importance of recognising and addressing it, removing the guilt, shame, and stigma associated with it, and the power we have to limit it.

The last point regarding the news 100% spot on. I stopped watching the news during the pandemic. I was glued to the news at the start which led to several seizures due to stress. I get the headlines from my smart speaker and leave it there, has worked so far. I also avoid Question Time, who decided to air that program right before bed?

We were just talking about this in our support group this evening.

Gosh! Well, stress and anxiety are so common amongst us lot, aren’t they. And then being a seizure trigger too - argh!
