How does one get help in a university when lecturers do not want to understand your condition? Do you just quit university?

No, I dont think quitting will be a solution. Rather find medical help and try and understand whst triggers your seizures. You can do it. I started having seizures at high school in Grade 8, I have a Master's degree today. Just make sure you stsrt with medical help first

Quitting is not an option, I have an honors in Economics and have done extremely well in corporate SA, You need to understand your triggers and perhaps a lifestyle change as well.

Not what you're looking for?
