The Epileptic Journey

By Ainul Huda Mohamed Saaid



KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- A lecturer from Kuala Lumpur, who only wants to be known as Christina, has been living with epilepsy for 10 years.


The 38-year-old belongs to the one per cent of the overall Malaysian population who are diagnosed with this condition.


Worldwide, approximately 50 million people suffer from epilepsy, with 80 per cent of the cases reported in developing countries, including Malaysia.


Despite the prevalence of this disease, there is still a significant lack of awareness of epilepsy among the public. Often, individuals suffering from epileptic convulsions are negatively perceived as being possessed by "otherworldly spirits". 


Christina found that people struggled to fully comprehend her situation and felt that a lack of understanding of epilepsy also invited the danger of judging and stigmatising the sufferers.
