In this week’s episode, Brain & Life Podcast host Dr. Daniel Correa is joined by Tiffany Kairos, an epilepsy advocate and founder of the Epilepsy Network, and her husband Chris Kairos. Tiffany shares her journey of living with epilepsy and her recent diagnosis of Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND). Tiffany and Chris delve into their experience managing both conditions, the impact on daily life, and the support systems that help her navigate these experiences. Dr. Correa is then joined by Dr. W. Curt LaFrance, Inaugural Director of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology at Rhode Island Hospital, Director of the VA Mind Brain program, and Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology at Brown University. Dr. LaFrance discusses the complexities of FND, the importance of integrating neurology and psychiatry for effective diagnosis and treatment, and the evolution of terminology to reduce stigma and improve patient engagement.
