Epilepsy, not a curse


Myths, misconceptions and superstitions. Why is epilepsy still so misunderstood? After Lawrence had his first epileptic seizure at the age of eight, his family began to search for a cure.

Let us know what you think. #TheComb Get in touch: thecomb@bbc.com Produced by Mary Goodhart
