Community Pulse: Epilepsy in the Media
The way epilepsy is shown in the media can have a big impact on how people understand the condition. Unfortunately, portrayals can sometimes spread misinformation or overlook the real experiences of those living with epilepsy.
To get a clearer picture of how well media represents epilepsy, we’ve put together a series of polls. These polls ask about the accuracy of media portrayals, the types of media that are most influential, and what the community would like to see more of.
Your votes helps us see where media coverage might be falling short and can help guide future content on our site. Once you make your selection, you will also be able to instantly see up-to-date numbers of what other community members have chosen. Check back often for updated results!
