Charlotte Dravet

Charlotte Dravet is known for her connection to Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that begins in infancy. This condition is characterized by prolonged seizures that can be difficult to control, often leading to developmental challenges. Charlotte is also famous for being the inspiration behind the medical use of cannabidiol (CBD) oil, which significantly helped reduce her seizures. Her story led to greater awareness and research into cannabis-based treatments for epilepsy, ultimately contributing to the development of Epidiolex, an FDA-approved CBD medication for treating certain seizure disorders.
