From seizure to safe, A parent's path

Season 1 · Episode 2

Sunday, November 30, 2025 • Duration 42:18

In this in-depth discussion, Natasha (pseudonym) shares her family's challenging journey surrounding her son Oscar's functional seizures, beginning from a playground incident at age 10 which led to years of medical uncertainty. Initially misdiagnosed as post-concussion syndrome, it took many seizure episodes and exhaustive testing before a neurologist identified Oscar's condition as functional seizures. Natasha elaborates on the emotional toll, the impact on family dynamics, finding the right neuropsychologist, and strategies that helped Oscar manage and reduce his episodes. She emphasizes the importance of acceptance, communication, and community support to cope with these challenges. Her candid account sheds light on the intersection of trauma, autism, and functional seizures, offering valuable insights and hope to other families facing similar issues.

Presented by Clinical Neuropsychologist and researcher, Dr Lana Higson.
