Hi my name’s Ann. I was first diagnosed with Epilepsy about 55 years ago when I was about 9 years old. I started with Juvenile Absence seizures and then when I reached puberty I started having tonic-clonic seizures. I have never been completely seizure free but it is very well controlled now, I haven’t had a tonic-clonic seizure for about 4 years now. I was recently having a bad time with depression so as well as going to see the doctor, who gave me antidepressants, I decided to look on the Epilepsy Action website as I had just read an article about depression in their magazine. As a result of that I discovered the existence of a Coffee and Chat group very close to where I live and this course. This course is already making a big difference to me. My husband came to the coffee and chat with me and the things he heard there and the things I have told him about the course have been making a very positive change to our relationship.
