Just saw this article (http://people.com/bodies/melanie-griffith-reveals-epilepsy-diagnosis/) where actress Melanie Griffith reveals that she was diagnosed with epilepsy 6 years ago. On the one hand, great! -- it helps to destigmatize epilepsy when celebrities talk about their own experiences...

Hi everyone. I hope you're having a good day so far. :) I'm curious...how is Epilepsy portrayed in TV Shows? I know that there is one character in the British drama series EastEnders that has Epilepsy, but that's all I know. Thanks.

I am currently at college studying Media L2 and i didn't have epilepsy since i was 4 and i just got it back late december. My parents didn't really talk about it as it was gone for years. This year and last year at college i have been trying to find more information on what causes the seizures...

We have a situation about a video on the ABC News website. Sometime, back in the month of November 2010, there was a picture on the MSN.com homepage about a video on abcnews.go.com. After watching the video, which I don't remember what it was about, I typed the word "epilepsy" in the search box...

Has anyone seen this indie fiction movie? It's playing in NYC now, but hasn't made it up to Beantown, and I don't know if it's showing anywhere else. From the trailer it seems like it might do a good job in handling the character's epilepsy, but I can't tell for sure.

My being "ticked off" was just increased while watching a public awareness commercial on TV about 'Adult ADHD'. The website for it is www.adhdactionguide.com I'm sure that commercial will be beneficial for everyone who has been diagnosed with ADHD. But for the people who do have and who do not...

My hunch was correct. Everyone, earlier today (Saturday, February 13, 2010) while watching the Fox Channel there was a highlight of what will be shown next week (Feb 15 thru 19, 2010), on the Dr. Oz show. The overall highlight lasted roughly 30 seconds, and what definitely caught my attention...

I'm not usually sensitive to things like this and I know others are and thought this would be a great opportunity to get some info out. Today on Good Morning America Steve Harvey made a bad joke about seizures. When he was asked how to get rid of a guy he responded by saying "Fake a seizure, oh...

Rebecca screamed from the other room tonight. I just HAD to come quick. She informed me that one of the contestants on the new season of ANTM has Epilepsy. We both think this is sooooo cool. Her name is Isabella. Let's all send her positive energy, because she can be a voice for so many people...

Have you seen the latest issue of Mad Magazine? The fake advertisement in its August issue reflects a person with epilepsy and a sarcastic, potentially harmful way to treat a seizure. Circuit City retracted the issue from its shelves.
