National Epilepsy Week

May 21, 2020

Did you know this week is National Epilepsy Week? National Epilepsy Week aims to raise awareness of those affected by epilepsy, what epilepsy is, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition.

Approximately 500,000 people across the country each year are diagnosed with epilepsy. It can affect people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. Epilepsy is a complex and often misunderstood condition.
