Vivir con epilepsia mioclónica juvenil: la carga que nadie ve

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy has a "good prognosis." But that doesn't tell a teenager that they'll have to take medication for the rest of their life, that they can't stay up late like other teenagers, that they carry an underlying fear that doesn't disappear even when the seizures are controlled. Dr. María Elvira Herrera, a child psychiatrist, analyzes JME beyond the seizures themselves: its chronic nature, reflex triggers, the real psychological impact, the most frequent psychiatric comorbidities, and what a truly comprehensive approach means.
