Epilepsy is the most common and potentially devastating neurological disease that affects people across the lifespan:
- 1 in 26 people will have epilepsy in their lifetime.
- Seizures know no boundaries, striking any age, any socio-economic level, and any ethnicity.
- Between 2.2 and 3 million Americans, including almost 400,000 children, live with epilepsy. Of those, one-third suffer treatment-resistant seizures that do not respond to currently available medications.
