Briefing Document on update of Psychosocial Research

Dear friends, colleagues and members of IBE,

As promised, here is our 2^nd  briefing document on recently published research which we hope will be of interest to the IBE Membership. Key topics will continue to include:

• Self-management including education and knowledge; and the application of self-help strategies.
• Stigma interventions aimed at both people with epilepsy and the public.
• Discrimination against people with epilepsy in different life areas (eg. healthcare, education, occupation, insurance)
• Educational and occupational initiatives targeted at different sections of the public.
• Specific interventions for the comorbidities of epilepsy [anxiety, depression, low self-esteem].
• The application of mobile health apps, telemedicine and social media in these areas (self-management, stigma and discrimination, education and assessment for psychiatric comorbidities).
