In this episode, CAN-BIND collaborated with EpLink to create this special podcast to explore what we know about epilepsy, depression and anxiety.
Listen as Dr. Elaine Kiriakopoulos, the Director of the HOBSCOTCH Institute for Cognitive Health and Well-Being at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Epilepsy Center, discusses the current relationship between epilepsy, depression and anxiety and the type of resources and support people living with these conditions can seek.
This podcast also gives you a sneak peek into a free webinar we will be holding with EpLink and the Ontario Brain Institute that delves into why depression can happen in people living with epilepsy, what to do about it and busting some myths about treatment.

Hi, I guess I could say I have all of the above including insomnia but I was doing very well till I got married and the marriage started to go south (enter major stress). Stress and anxiety/depression are insidious with the solution to the cause of the symptoms putting one into a "Catch 22". Working in it though. A question. One physician I talked to reccomend a drug for ADHD. I mentioned the insomnia but she said the half life was short and should not be that much of a problem. What do you think? P.S. presently separated, the majority source of the stress is gone but difficult to get off the roller coaster. Anyhow, very interesting. Thanks.

what was your major source of stress? Getting rid of depression can be tough since you also internalized the feeling. If it is possible try to do something new that you can deal with. Something which makes you feel better and that you can hang on to.
