Learn About Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects millions of people around the world, causing seizures and other symptoms that can have significant impacts on quality of life. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, and the disorder is often associated with stigma, discrimination, and social isolation. Epilepsy programs and initiatives, such as the Epilepsy Foundation and the International League Against Epilepsy, work to promote awareness, research, and support for individuals and families affected by epilepsy and reduce the burden of this disorder on individuals and communities.
