Abstract
These findings provide valuable insight into the factors that present difficulties and impede epilepsy diagnosis disclosure among CWE. Such knowledge is important in informing engagements between health-care professionals (HCPs) and CWE. In particular, HCPs should remain cognisant of the challenges CWE face as they: (i) strive for normalcy and (ii) grapple with comprehending their complex neurological condition. Tackling such disclosure challenges could serve to enhance life quality, improve CWE's openness with others about epilepsy, and consequently work toward reducing epilepsy-related misconceptions and stigma.
