Q: Epilepsy Featured In Movie Control

Ian Curtis the lead singer for the band Joy Division was in fact epileptic and the biopic 'Control' details all the painful elements of his life as such in 1976 Manchester England. His medication is described ... phenobarbitals and something else and his moods .

Its a case study in epilepsy and its interesting that a rock star could suffer like that and have seizures on stage and everything and most people just thought he was dancing weird.

Anyone seen or interested in the movie?
