Epilepsy
Epilepsy is one of the nation's most common disabling neurological conditions. Most people with epilepsy can control their seizures through treatment. Some people with epilepsy do not respond to available treatment options but can take steps to help manage their condition and minimize the potential dangers when experiencing a seizure.
Epilepsy creates challenges ranging from an increased risk for depression and anxiety to driving restrictions to facing stigmatization and potential employment discrimination. Priorities for a public health agenda on epilepsy focus on early recognition, diagnosis, and treatment; epidemiology and surveillance; self-management; and quality of life.
