November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month. The goal of these 30 days this month is to spotlight epilepsy and raise awareness.
"According to the World Health Organization (@WHO), epilepsy is the most common severe #brain #disorder worldwide with no age, racial, social class, national, or geographic boundaries.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (@CDC) estimates that 3.4 million people in the United States are affected by epilepsy. It is the underlying tendency of the brain to produce #seizures, which are sudden abnormal bursts of electrical energy that disrupt brain functions.”
During this month, you can help raise awareness by joining together with organizations to provide information about #prevention, #treatment, #research, and #resources to fight epilepsy. 💜
