Default Epilepsy in a Soap!

Well it seems Victor, a major character in The Young and the Restless, has epilepsy. I usually don't watch soaps now but tuned into this one. I am interested in what you think. I hoped they would take this in the direction of public awareness of many of the details about epilepsy that the public and healthcare workers never consider. In a way they have done some of tha,t but since now he, Victor, has been committed to a psych ward because he pointed a gun at someone which has been said to be due to side effects of the drugs and the family is telling him to just let the doctor take care of you when he is saying I feel fine concerns me. Maybe I am concerned over nothing but it gives the impression that we are dangerous to others. How about adjusting/changing the meds or finding other options rather than the phych ward which we all know will not help. They did mention "other options" so who knows where this will lead. Just so he doesn't end up a research subject. Your thoughts on the show? I am thankful to CBS and TY&TR for including epilepsy and getting it out in the open. Tattoo
