Gaslighting — what to do when it happens to you
8 Comments
Is your doctor making you feel crazy? Like it’s all in your head? Could you be a hypochondriac?
You must be imagining your symptoms. Or maybe you’re just in a panic.
“Go home and take two Advil. Or maybe two Xanax. You’ll feel fine when this blows over. I assure you.”
Maybe you should have gone to Google first.

Please understand, I am NOT saying that these supplements will cure, treat or prevent epilepsy.
But I am saying that we folks with epilepsy have to do everything we can for our brain health.
And these supplements can help a lot with that.
In fact, the nutrients they contain are so important for your brain cells, you really should seriously consider them.
That’s how strongly I feel.
And the science backs me up.
