Different kinds of epilepsy of varying causes and severity affect a diverse group of people. Epilepsy is no respecter of persons. The rich and the poor have epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a shared experience across color lines, generation gaps and gender differences.
Though a variety of treatment options enable 60 to 80 percent to live seizure free, various barriers and burdens still negatively impact the quality of life of many with epilepsy. Epilepsy is uniquely experienced and responded to depending on cultural influences, religious beliefs, education and access to resources. We specifically acknowledge Glaxo Wellcome, Cyberonics, Pfizer, Parke-Davis, Novartis.
