Relationship and sexual satisfaction are linked to better self-care for people with epilepsy
When people with epilepsy are more satisfied with their intimate relationships, they are also more likely to manage their condition better, according to a study from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University Bloomington and the IU School of Nursing at IUPUI.
The IU study recently published in the journal Epilepsy & Behavior provides an increased understanding of the significant role that intimate relationships can play in the lives of people with epilepsy. Data gathered from a survey of 88 people with epilepsy revealed that intimate connections with others are a common concern, and many have difficulties navigating and maintaining relationships.
