We hear plenty in the media about neurological disorders like MS, Parkinson's and autism, but there's a disorder that affects more than all three of those combined. And that's epilepsy.
Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder in the U.S. after migraines, strokes, and Alzheimer’s disease, according the Epilepsy Foundation. And, of course, there are many people in Greater Houston dealing with it.
Joining us now to talk about the challenges of – and resources related to – dealing with epilepsy in Houston are three guests: Dr. Takijah Heard is a Pediatric Neurologist specializing in epilepsy with Memorial Hermann and UTHealth; Rebecca Moreau is a program coordinator for the Epilepsy Foundation Texas; and Demita Dozier's son, Sidney, has been diagnosed with epilepsy.
