You are correct, these topics need greater attention as they are frequently neglected in epilepsy patients. My hope is that these insights will lead to better patient care. Healthy sexual function is important to quality of life. We should improve communication to reduce the stigma around this topic. Sexual & reproductive health should start in adolescence. Also, management of chronic neurologic conditions should be personalized. Of course, we need more research and more registries that would include African & Asian countries.
