Bridging the Divide

Bol

This essential clinical guide shines a light on one of the most under-addressed intersections in modern healthcare: the relationship between epilepsy and mental health disorders. Grounded in both research and clinical insight, Epilepsy and Mental Health exposes the high rates of psychiatric comorbidities-such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and dissociation-among individuals living with epilepsy, while offering a critical look at the diagnostic and treatment gaps that persist across systems.Written by clinician and epilepsy advocate Carina Schroedel, this book weaves together literature review, clinical observations, and a proposed mixed-methods study to call for trauma-informed, integrated care. With practical recommendations for therapists, neurologists, and interdisciplinary teams, this work aims to improve outcomes and restore dignity to those often caught between specialties.Whether you're a mental health provider, medical professional, or lived-experience advocate, this timely publication offers a path forward-where neurology and psychology no longer exist in isolation, and patients are finally seen in their full complexity.
