Instead of humane and compassionate treatment, doctors, hospitals and the legal system are treating epilepsy patients with little or no regard for their condition.
Here are some chilling examples:

What was once known as “shell shock” is now called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. (PTSD).
PTSD affects about 7.7 million American adults, and while it’s impossible to predict who will develop PTSD in response to trauma, there are certain risk factors that increase your vulnerability.
Of course, the first thought is of veterans. But anyone can get PTSD at any age.
Going through trauma is not rare. About 6 out of every 10 (or 60%) of men and 5 of every 10 (or 50%) of women experience at least one trauma in their lives.

It’s incredible. When I researched resources for Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders, there weren’t many.
An embarrassing shortage, considering the magnitude of need.
That’s the sad news.
The good news is that I found loads of all kinds of different stress disorder support groups online.
This is just a small sampling of different Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Stress support groups.
To find more, simply type in your subject and look for forums or support groups.
There’s a wealth of wonderful resources for those who have shared whatever trauma you’ve suffered.
