Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which extends beyond medical effects to significantly impact emotions, psychology, education, occupation, and social life. Community sensitization about epilepsy is crucial for reducing stigma and discrimination, correcting misconceptions (such as believing epilepsy is contagious, a mental illness, or associated with intellectual disability), promoting inclusion and acceptance, improving first aid knowledge, encouraging emotional support, and ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy. The social implications of epilepsy include both positive outcomes (stronger family bonds, improved caregiving skills, increased empathy) and negative outcomes (overprotection limiting independence, family stress, financial burden, social rejection, bullying, isolation, and difficulties in romantic relationships). Effective strategies to improve social relationships include education, counseling, support groups, creating inclusive school and workplace environments, and open communication about epilepsy.

So the topic of the day here is uh sensitization implications and outcomes of social relationships in epileptic condition and I've said epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by and provoked seasons called caused by abnormal electric activities in the brain. Beyond the medical effect beyond the medical effect epilepsy also affects emotions, psychology, education, occupation and social life. So there the social life, education, psychology and occupational that is where we are talking about. We have talked about medical issues about epilepsy through the week. Now let's talk about implications of relationship in social life. in social life. Now um what is sensitization about epilepsy in social relationship? What is sensitization about epilepsy in social relationship?
Sensitization means educating and creating awareness in the community.
Educating and creating awareness in the community, families, schools, workplaces, social groups and about epilepsy. You see, you saw the type of myths and questions that I was receiving through last week about this topic. So, goals of sensitization about people that have epilepsy are there are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 there are seven goals because they live in our society and we have them in workplaces, we have them at home, we have them everywhere. We have to sensitize and this sensitization is for the help of two way. The people that are not epileptic and the epileptic ones. You see sensitization is both of them. Ice key skin always here. Welcome. One. What does it do? It reduces stigma and discrimination.
When you sensitize some people about epilepsy, it reduces stigma and discrimination. Stigma is a very bad thing and discrimination is a very bad thing. It can end someone to lose even physical health. Correct myths and misconception.
Myths and misconception about epilepsy.
the myths that we have been talking about. It corrects the myths and and and misconception promote inclusion and acceptance to the society. Now, let me tell you this. Let me tell you this. It's a it's it's very uh cool when we relate you know if someone is epileptic and this person is a professor in a university and he's delivering very well or this person is an engineer somewhere builds good houses or designs good motor vehicles the fact that this person is a deleptic will not make this person to be lesser person than the others. So the kind of attack that this person can get at work or at home does not mean this person cannot deliver to the public, you know. So correct myths and misconceptions help this person to work with proud pride just like the normal person. promote inclusion and acceptance at home, at places of work and also where social environment. Some people who you will see there was a time some people will gather somewhere like men and when a person comes closer to them they will move because they know this one can get attacked any time. But if you promote inclusion and acceptance, these people become uh in they become having that spirit the energy of being like I'm just normal. It's a condition that can be managed. They accept themselves and you accept and you omit the stigmatization both from the person and the person that you are around that even at home inclusion in important matters because some people will not include them in important matters saying African society they say it's voodoo or their cast so they are not included in important matters improve first aid knowledge the ones that we have been talking about sensitization first aid scissors can make someone to pass away. So when we are sensitizing and talking to people it improves Caesar first aid knowledge and people becomes knowledgeable on what to do not to lose this important person that is you know you can have a very important person in in your society but you can lose this person because you don't have sensitization.
You didn't know what to do when this person got an attack. So it improves Caesar's first aid knowledge to preserve brilliant minds. You know we don't want to lose brilliant minds because people don't know first aid you know encourage emotional support for affected individuals. Yes. Let me read what uh the coffee cakes has said. I recall my employee of mine that needed to be moved to a different location due to a Caesar.
Doctor did not want him drive to far from home. As long as no episode 6 months, then reconsider. Yes, it's very important. Uh coffee cakes that is what we call inclusion.

You know, emotional support. So, whatever what coffee cakes is saying here, I recall an employee of mine that needed to be moved to a different location due to Caesars.
Doctor did not want him to drive to far from home. You see, so if you reject this person will have that emotional.
Yes. As long as no episodes for 6 months, you can reconsider and let this person drive. That is what coffee cakes is telling us. Now let's continue. That was about sensitization. These are very important tips and topics when it comes to social inclusion when it comes to epilepsy. I can see more people coming in. Please come in. Welcome to the channel. Welcome to this topic.

So the first thing we have said is sensitization and under sensitization I repeat it reduces stigma and discrimination corrects myths and incompetence misconceptions and promotes inclusion and acceptance improves Caesars first aid knowledge we don't want to lose people because they are epileptic and they are having seizures first aid can secure a life can save a life Encourage emotional support of the affected individuals and even the family sensitization.
Improve the quality of life. The only stupid question is the one that wasn't asked. Your question could help answer others. So, welcome my guys. Yes, coffee cakes. Welcome. That is very nice. How can you ask a doctor a question?
Ask any question. This is a a platform where you ask any question and you are answered. So don't feel shy asking any question. Don't just be that person who is a Mr. Yes, Mrs. Yes, Miss Yes. Ask a question. Let's sensitize each other.
Now common misconception affecting social relationship. The topic of the day we have said is desensitization, implication and outcomes of social relationships in epileptic condition. We have talked about the medical impact from day one. Now we are talking about the social impact of epilepsy and the social environment you see and the social environment. Now let's common misconceptions and social affecting social relationships.
Common misconception affecting social relationships.
Many people wrongly believe epilepsy is contagious.
Don't go to play with that kid. You will get the disease that that kid has. You get funny. But you see as much as it is funny it is something that has an impact on the family plus the person plus you who is making this person not to interact with the friend it has an impact h it's contagious that is a misconception caused by ces of spirits we talked about it a mental illness epilepsy is not a mental illness it's a neurologic defect a kind of weakness. There are people that have epilepsy and they are working at higher offices and they educated.
So let's not say these things always associated with intellectual disability.
It is not associated with intellectual disability.
The belief can damage the social relationship and isolate people with living with epilepsy. So if you have epilepsy and then you start saying it's contagious caused by causes and spirits and mental illness or sign of weakness you know it can make this person not to interact with others the belief can damage social relationship and isolate people with we don't want to isolate people living with epilepsy because we know it's just a neurological defect and these people can be prominent people of the society and we have seen by our eyes prominent people of our society that are undergoing therapy. They're taking medications and they are great people of the nation.
Although some places one or some two three places here in the world some other people even hide those people. The only stupid question is that oh uh I can see that one I had read. Now implication of epilepsy on social relationship.
Family relationship is one. The first one positive implication. Families may become more protective and supportive.
I'm talking about implication. Today we are talking about social issues to the people that have epilepsy and want to come in the flat uh ground. Welcome you who are watching here. Welcome. If you have not subscribed, subscribe and uh like the video as we continue. If you have a question, come to the chat and ask the question as you continue. You know, I've noticed so many people watch in silence and after a month someone will tell you that I've been watching but I have this question. Ask a question when you feel. Don't fear asking questions. Subscribe now. Uh family relationship the first thing positive implications. Families may become more protective and supportive. strong emotional bond can develop and improved caregiving skills can be there. This is a positive attribute towards a family member who has epilepsy. A positive attribute towards but we have some negative attributes. The negative attributes that sorry not that uh mean this okay.
Yes, but we have some negative attributes towards this overp protection limiting independence.
This is a person just like others. So you are overprotecting this person. You don't want this person to go out like that the like how the uh the coffee collector said doctor did not want him to drive far from home.
overprotective limiting independence. You see second family stress and anxiety.
Wherever you are, you are worried about this person. Where can this person be at this time of the moment? What can happen?
This is a person that is on medication doing good. Don't be worried. Make this person live a life like the others you get? makes this person live life like the others. Financial burden from treatment cost is always a problem when it comes because these medications that Wow, Betty is here. Betty, welcome.
Welcome to the channel because it's a burden. Those medication like sodium vibrate, kamazipine, some of them are not um cheap medication.
So you can like feel that the person is a burden to and you know some people live in Africa in Africa here some people live below the dollar a day and they are surviving below the dollar a day and they are surviving.
So that is it. Financial stress and anxiety, financial burden from treatment cost, misunderstanding of Caesar behavior is very critical and that's why and that's why I go through and categorize the Caesars.
So if you don't understand the the Caesar behavior or the type of Caesar your person is having you will not know how to manage. So it's important to take them to hospital and understand. Don't just say I'm living with a person who is epileptic but you don't understand the characteristic and behavior of the Caesar. You need to understand for you to know how to manage when it is time for this and when you are expecting a Caesar or which drug to use.
The only problem I say most there is something that you can't do because people live below the dollar have these people and these people are suffering.
So that is a challenge again siblings jealous or neglect because now you are having to neglonic seizures and uh they see that you cannot be productive. The siblings that you have in your family most of them are taken care of and you you are given less priority to the family or to the social environment.
Even if you go to workplace and the people who are interviewing know that you are epileptic, the first people that will be given priority is not you.
Negative implications. This is implications of epilepsy on social relationships. You have started with family relationships.
Let's go to friendship and peer relationship. Friendship and peer relationships.
Challenges.

H sensitization implication and outcome of social relationships in epileptic condition.
That is the topic today. It's very important very important.
the coffee cakes you know in Kenya here in Africa sometimes even calling 911 may not help it will not help because before those numbers at times they don't work it's not like the US where 911 is followed up so faster Joyce Jamoy hi Joyce welcome to the chat we are talking about social implication of epilepsy and social impact.

So uh I was telling the coffee cakes if you can rush this person to hospital you remember what I said just 30 minutes or 1 hour 1 hour after the seizure the EEG will bring good results but after a very long hour you may find the brain is okay so it may not be helpful even the MRI. So welcome my guys subscribe hit the like buttons. The topic of today I will repeat again it is sensitization implications and outcome of social relationships in epileptic conditions.
In epileptic conditions. So we have said about sensitization which reduces stigma, correct mis misconception, promote inclusion and acceptance, improve saers, first aid knowledge, you know, encourage emotional support to individuals and improve quality of life.
Then we have gone to common misconception affecting social relationships of epileptic people.
People saying that epilepsy is contagious caused by experience, a mental illness, a sign of weakness and always associated with intellectual disabilities. It is wrong. Then we have gone to implication of epilepsy to social relationship. We have talked about positive implification on epilepsy. Families may become more protective.
Strong emotional bond can develop because of the condition and improved caregiving skills. Very important improved caregiving skills. But there is negative implication towards the family.
They can be overprotective limiting independence, family stress and anxiety, financial burden because of the cost of treatment and misunderstanding of Caesar behavior and also siblings being jealousy or neglect of that person because the way he or she is being taken care of. And then we are going to the other thing that is friendship and peer relationship.
You know, as we talk about medical impact, let's talk about friendship and and peer relationship. The coffee cake says they check for PS, check for money.
They check for everything. They check for medical and then they check if your insurance has money or your pockets have money. That is wrong. But you know the hospital has to run and it has running under resources and money is important.
So sometimes you don't you you you don't blame them.
Challenges in social friendship and peer relationship to a person who has epilepsy. Social rejection or bullying is always there. But nowadays people are doing good. They are accepting and moving forward from the traditional bullying and rejection. They are coming in hand to hand by sensitization with media like the way I'm doing and being talked to from hospital and CHWs h casual home workers. You know those people that are medics in hospital talking to them fear during seizures. People may fear when a person is having a Caesar because one they have never known what is wrong with this person. Isolation from social activities.
Isolation from social activities.
Difficulty in making friends.
too difficult in making friends because friends fear you. Embarrassed after public seiz have had a scissors mostly tonic scissors. You are that you have fallen down the the the forms have come to your so you have to leave public place like a meeting for you to go and change and come back.
But you know when these people have go undergone the Caesar you need to go to them tell them don't fear we understand this is a situation go and change come we continue with the meeting just get your medication come we continue with the meeting you see it helps when it comes to stigma don't isolate from social activities it's very difficult when people have scissors to make friends and and you Your friends are the ones who help these people to be strong. H embarrassed after public scissors. That is not good.
Possible positive outcomes during friend relationships. Uh welcome. I can see many people are coming in. Welcome, welcome. And like like share this knowledge to people out there. We want people to be sensitized. That's why we talking. If you are new, your subscription is important and like subscription gives impressions and it gives what again? It gives uh impressions and also it gives you notifications. Me eczema got me traumatized so bad. I know how it feels. Yes, mirama is what makes you traumatized. But when people understand what you are undergoing, everything becomes good. Now let's talk about positive outcomes towards friendship and peer relationships.
Strong friendships through support and understanding. The people that have been sensitized and they understand what is going on with Caesars will always support this person and this person will have a strong support and he'll this person will do good. Yes, Dorothy welcome to the platform. I think I have to repeat the topic of the day today which is if you are coming in right now you need to rewatch this. This is very important topic. sensitization, implication and outcome of social relationship in epileptic condition. And you can relate this to any other condition that is chronic also. H and you see this one is not a cont a contagious problem. Now we have positive outcomes. Kas got no chills. I swear they can unlive you while you're making fun of you. Yes. Uh Mira, I understand you being uh you've gone through that. I know you understand why I'm bringing this topic now. Positive possible outcomes, strong friendship through support and understanding. The people that understand what is going on will support this person and the process of managing it will be easy. Positive friendship. Friendship that reason and they understand the process.
Sensitization in friendship and everyone is very important. Increase empathy among peers and it starts with the parents because parents are the ones which grow children up with this kind like traditional understanding. So sensitization towards our parents also is important.
H. Now, this is the big deal. Now, I want you to listen to this. Listen to this because this is the big deal. And this is where people with epilepsy really get the real suffering.
Listen. Romantic and marriage relationship.
I've seen people struggle with this romantic and marriage relationship. I've seen people struggling. You get a partner, create, everything is okay. You are just going to a wedding and it's called off. Why? Because someone told this person is epileptic.
Common issues, fear of disclosure, rejection due to stigma, concern about pregnancy and heredit hereditary because it's genetic.
The other partner thinks that now because this person is epileptic this one will come to our family. Now this one I want you guys I want you to help me here. What do you think? I once asked this question. Would you marry a person from an epileptic? It's a concern and let me put it as a question. Would you marry from a family of aptic person?
Very important. Will you marry from a family of a person of who is epileptic?
Think about it.
Think about this because this is the real deal. when I'm going through a person that is in that stage between uh 24 to 28 you know that is when people are thinking of marriage 24 28 30 35 most of them say that I can't get a partner doctor I can't get a partner what do I do romantic relationships and and some of them when they get partners they are afraid to say it that I have this.
They wait until it comes on their own.
So your partner will never know you are under medication and when it comes the other family stops the relationship and even even if it is marriage you do what now? H Betty has said yes it's not a death sentence. You see it is uh I think that should be like a poll like let me see let me see what I can do. I see let me put it as a poll. You see before I finish if someone would have a that please uh let's put it as a poll yes or no. Would you marry from a family that is um let's get the poll get to that poll let's see Betty has said u Betty has said yes it's not a death sentence it's important and you know it's not that because this person is epileptic you will get kids that are epileptic you saw when we talked about genetics when it comes to it doesn't mean that that the kids that you have uh get although it's genetic it can be passed to generation but it doesn't mean all your kids will have these problems development of trust and communication when you realize that you have been he or he has not told you that he's epileptic you you just develop mistrust you just develop mistrust fear of disclosure is very is a very bad thing. Romantic relationships, when people are in a romantic relationships, you should tell your partner everything.
Tell your partner, I'm epileptic. You've never seen me with a Caesar. If you like me, like me as I am.
Don't fear rejection due to stigma. It's better you you be rejected at first place rather than bringing my spell is working on you, brother. For beans, which spell is that? Which spell is that? For beans, which spell is that my friend? Welcome to the channel.
Subscribe. I know this is your first time here, so subscribe to the channel and give me a like. Tell me where you are coming from. Phone phone robins. I'm making a tribal spell.
Spells never work on me.
Subscribe. Give me your like as we continue and tell me if you would marry into a family. People are epileptic.
There is a poll going on there. Let me know. Let me know about it.
Okay. Misunderstanding about intimacy and safety.
Intimacy and safety are different things. In African culture says they say if you marry from a person who is epileptic you will bring the voodoo to the other family. This one that one we saw it is it is totally wrong.
It is totally wrong. Have you subscribed for phone robins? Have you subscribed?
Tell me if you have subscribed. Tell me tell me if you have subscribed. Those things don't work. Don't lie to yourself about voodoo. They don't work for Robins now. School relationships, children now or grown-ups that are going to university and others problems of bullying and teaching teachers misunderstanding Caesars. You know when teachers go to training before you become a teacher, they are they have a unit called psychology. It is supposed to help them to take care of such things social relationship within the students and themselves. But sometimes you may find teachers that they can't are settled in teaching and they have forgot the skills. So when you forget a skill that you learned in college, communication skill like the one that I'm giving right now, you know, this is communication skill that is helping a person to relate to these things that I'm you find that when it is practical, you have a kid that is conversing and the other ones are avoiding this kid.
You as a teacher, you are trained to do what? To make these people understand.
So teachers misunderstanding Caesars become another problem but not all of them. I'm just talking about a few you know poor academic performances. It is happening at midnight.
This guy is poor performance from Caesars or medications.
Poor performance. Goodbye. Bye-bye. See you. Poor performance.
Because you are having Caesars. You are being neglected. Medications you are taking them. It becomes like you are so into thinking what is happening to my life? Why am I not like the others?
H welcome, welcome, welcome. Nice to meet you, uncle. Welcome. You see, why am I not like others?
So, it interferes your learning process, kids in school. But if the people that are around you are making you feel like you are normal, like making you feel that they can help you, they support you, you will improve in your performances. Sometimes they exclude these people from they exclude these people from ac sports h from sports and activities. You see my Ford welcome my hope you are doing good.
I can see you are here today. Yesterday I saw you and you ran away. Hope you are doing food. May for May for welcome.
Welcome. You didn't tell me where which country you're coming from. Please tell me and uh share this uh share this this is important to some people and they don't have this knowledge made for heart. So if you are watching the topic of today I repeat is uh sensitization implification and outcomes of social relationship in epileptic condition in epileptic condition. So we have reached a romantic and marriage relationships and we went to school relationships positive effects of and awareness is very important.
Better peer acceptance is a positive thing. better in school. The teachers in the lecturers have sensitized the students how to handle when someone is convulsing how to be empathetic and when this person has just had a seizure, someone goes around with him or her talking to her. H take your medication please. Are you feeling okay? Can we go back to class and continue learning or you need some rest? You know this is very important my friends. This is very important. H positive effects of awareness. So the person goes back to to class and continues with education or is given time to rest until he's this person is able to and when he comes back catches up with others and continues.
Positive effects of awareness improved teachers response during Caesars. When the scissors start tell the people don't panic let's help our friend but don't go all of you to look uh give sides he'll just be she or he will be okay within minutes when this person is okay tell one of the friends please take this person go with the person outside let the person get some fresh air if you carried your medication please swallow your medication depressed. Come back when you are okay.
We continue the typical teacher who understands what epilepsy is. You see safer school environment.
You know where to place this person and where this person should sit during class time. In case of any in case of any Caesar, this person is protected.
You see and at work places workplaces very important challenges like employment discriminations I talked about it people and many people that that know a person is epileptic they mostly in humanity and hospitality industry they avoid these people but you can employ them and put them on a task that is good.
Fear from co-workers, limited job opportunities, stress affecting Caesar's control.
These are the challenges that come at workplace.
You don't know how to control the Caesar, positive outcome, inclusive work environment.
You as the manager of somewhere you include this person on work and tell this person when you feel it is coming please alert visi don't place this person at service industry you place this person at a place where they have families and they need to survive.
You get very important my friends. These are the things we should be talking about and relating about better occupational support improved confidentiality and productivity.
Now we have something that is called if you have a question please don't fail to ask. If you have a question don't fail to ask. Let's ask these questions as we continue. Let's ask these questions as we continue.
Psychological and emotional effects on relationships.
You'll get some people getting low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, fear of having Caesar in public and social withdrawals.
Social withdrawals is a very bad thing.
Very bad thing. The emotional effect can train relationship in supporting if supporting is lacking. This is on psychological and emotional effect on relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, fear of having seizures in public and social withdrawals.
Just imagine my friends this emotion affects and strains relationship if support is lacking. We still have some.
