National Epilepsy Awareness Month

National Epilepsy Awareness Month, observed each November, aims to increase understanding and support for individuals with epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures caused by abnormal brain activity. The month promotes education about the condition, reduces stigma, and highlights advancements in treatment and research. It encourages communities to support those affected and fosters awareness of safety considerations, such as how to assist someone during a seizure. Overall, it’s a time to increase knowledge, compassion, and advocacy to improve the quality of life for people living with epilepsy.
