In this rich and deeply reflective episode of Rebooting the Brain, Dr. Sharan Srinivasan welcomes Dr. A.N. Prasad, a pioneering pediatric neurologist and epilepsy specialist, to share his remarkable yatra — a journey spanning decades of work across rural India and global centers of excellence. From his earliest experiences in underserved communities to becoming a leading voice in pediatric neurology, Dr. Prasad’s path has been guided by a mission to protect children from the harms of misdiagnosis. He explains how countless children are wrongly labeled with epilepsy when other causes of seizures are overlooked, resulting in stigma, treatment delays, and lifelong consequences. Drawing on this lifelong journey, he highlights the need for precise diagnosis, the promise of genetic testing, and a holistic, family-centered approach that empowers communities. This conversation explores how cultural beliefs shape perceptions, where public awareness falls short, and why child development itself is a journey — not a checklist. It is an eye-opening discussion for parents, caregivers, and medical professionals who believe every child deserves the right diagnosis — and the right future.
