We chat with Sophie Bennett about the MICE project, which focuses on mental health support for children and young people with epilepsy. Sophie, a clinical psychologist and researcher, shares how mental health support can make a big difference. We know that getting an epilepsy diagnosis can be tough, and this episode offers expert info and connection through shared experiences. NOTICE: It is important to understand that epilepsy is a highly individualised condition, and each person’s experience with epilepsy can vary significantly. The information, experience and views shared on this podcast may not reflect those of Young Epilepsy and are not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
