Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder in the world.
It can touch the lives of anyone, at any time, often for no clear reason. People with epilepsy have a continuing tendency to epileptic seizures and these happen when the normal electrical brain activity is disturbed. At least one in every 200 people has epilepsy. The condition affects nearly 30,000 Scots and more than 350,000 people in the United Kingdom. Epilepsy does not discriminate.
