Breaking the Stigma

Even today, many families in Ambala, Panchkula, and Chandigarh hesitate to seek treatment for epilepsy due to misconceptions. This stigma delays diagnosis and often worsens patient outcomes.

Neurologist Dr. Anurag Lamba has been actively raising awareness to help communities understand that epilepsy is treatable and manageable with proper care.

❌ Myth vs ✅ Fact

Here are some common myths Dr. Lamba addressed:

• Myth 1: Epilepsy is contagious.
  Fact: Epilepsy is a neurological condition, not an infection. You cannot “catch” it.
• Myth 2: People with epilepsy cannot live normal lives.
  Fact: With proper treatment, most patients can study, work, marry, and live full lives.
• Myth 3: Seizures mean lifelong disability.
  Fact: Many patients achieve long seizure-free periods with medication.
• Myth 4: Traditional remedies or superstitions can cure epilepsy.
  Fact: Only medical evaluation and treatment from a neurologist can control seizures.

Why Awareness Is Critical

Dr. Lamba emphasizes that families in Ambala and Panchkula should recognize seizures early and seek professional help instead of relying on myths. Awareness can change the future for thousands of young patients who hesitate to step forward.
