Storms in the Brain
your fantastic mind

There is no cure for epilepsy. The best hope is controlling the seizures, but researchers have proven that if you can ablate (destroy) areas of the brain where the seizures happen, you can essentially cure the person. YFM follows a young mother who can no longer work, drive or even care for her child alone, as she tries to reclaim her life.

Duration: 25 minutes and 15 seconds

Episode Number: 109

About Your Fantastic Mind:

YOUR FANTASTIC MIND takes viewers on a journey of the final frontier in science, the brain.

Mixing cutting edge research with deeply human stories, the show explores every aspect of the brain and mind - from what our dogs think of us, to how we can preserve our memories as we age, to curing depression with experimental deep brain stimulation.

Your Fantastic Mind also tackles current brain issues impacting tens of millions of Americans such as the opioid crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, taking a deep dive into the mental and physiological effects of both.

Your Fantastic Mind entertains and informs the viewer, providing lasting information they can use to improve their own lives.
