The Fight Against Epilepsy
In Louisiana, more than 54,900 people live with epilepsy, and 1 in 10 people will experience a seizure in their lifetime.
Despite being one of the most common neurological disorders, epilepsy receives little national attention. Those affected face a wide range of challenges, from accessing appropriate medical care to dealing with discrimination, stigma, mental health concerns, and the difficulties of daily life.
