Hi @ldlauwers
I am so sorry to hear that!
It might also be worth considering seeing a psychiatrist or neuropsychiatrist via video calls, which would expand your range of options considerably. In the post-COVID world, so much can be done remotely. My own neuropsychologist is also based in São Paulo, and almost all of my sessions with her are done via video call — which makes life much easier, as I no longer drive and the traffic here is terrible!
As suggested before, have you tried getting in touch with the Epilepsy Foundation Helpline? They may be able to help with this search.
I thank everyone who can help @ldlauwers with suggestions of a psychiatrist or neuropsychiatrist specializing in epilepsy in the US.
Chris
