But not only are these conditions medically correlated, they also share similarities when it comes to bullying, stigma, job prospects, dating, and everyday life experience. That means, of course, we need to TALK ABOUT IT! Greg sits down in studio with his good friend Holly Robinson Peete,...

Greg chats with Peyton DeJardin, a senior at University of California Berkeley and a force on the volleyball court. When she was just a young girl, she developed a self-induced photosensitive epilepsy or "sunflower syndrome" which later turned into Jeavons syndrome which would sometimes cause upwards of 100 small seizures per day. It took years to correctly diagnose her condition as epilepsy, but despite her diagnosis, she has never let it get in her way. Her competitive spirit and positive attitude make her a volleyball star at Cal, and her awareness and resolve help her to inform others about her condition and point out ways in which environments might trigger her or others to have seizures so that changes can be made. They discuss how lighting can be a trigger for photosensitive epilepsy and how she spreads awareness about that in class or on the court, and her epilepsy journey through being a young kid into her adulthood. Greg also revisits a previous interview about Helmets 4 Helmets because of their UC Berkeley connection, and gives many thanks for Thanksgiving along with tips on how to talk about epilepsy at the dinner table this holiday.
Talk About It with Greg Grunberg is excited to be sponsored by Neurelis and by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
