Stigma

Should a section (or even just a sentence) be added discussing the vast stigma around photosensitivity in people with epilepsy? Plenty of credible and relative sources mention this issue, and I see plenty of "professional" sources offhandedly refer to all epileptic seizures as being triggered by flashing lights. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've never met anyone save for medical experts and other people with epilepsy who didn't believe that all epilepsy is photosensitive.
