Epi-Center Podcast
Hello and welcome to Epi-Center! My name is Camila Foy, and I am a senior undergrad student of psychology. In this podcast, I talk about topics regarding the intersection of epilepsy and psychology. Whilst I do not have epilepsy myself, I hope to spread awareness and educate myself and others about this disorder. As well as this, I wish to add to the effort of eliminating stigma. In my YouTube Channel, you can see video formats of the interviews I conduct and other resources available to you! Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional. Any and all information on this podcast is researched by myself. My goal is to become better educated in this field of research, but I am not a certified medical professional. The information discussed is purely research from online and book sources. This podcast should not be used to make diagnoses or treatment plans. Please enjoy!
