World Epilepsy Awareness Day

Throughout March and especially today on the 26th we focus on spreading awareness about epilepsy.

There are so many types of epilepsy and therefore seizures which affect different parts of the brain and cause different symptoms. Not all seizures involve loss of consciousness, repetitive movements or convulsions. Symptoms and the post-ictal phase (after a seizure) are all very different from person to person and type/origin of the seizure. This can make it hard to seek help, for seizures to be recognized for what they are and for people to get the treatment they need.

Raising awareness can be what helps people get the help they need. Like me - after years of misdiagnosed seizures, I saw a video of someone explaining there seizures and recognized how similar that was to what I experienced. This helped me do further research and come to my GP with this information and begin the process.

Seizures are very different, symptoms are very individual and it can be incredibly hard to get diagnosed because of this and many other factors. The more awareness raised, hopefully we can help other people and maybe save someone from years of untreated epilepsy.
