Epilepsy need
MORE THAN any other disorder,
epilepsy has been surrounded by
misunderstanding, prejudice, and
fear — attitudes that may block
the hopes and inspirations of the
more than 400,000 Canadians: with
epilepsy.

. November is: National Epilepsy.

: “Month, during which the B.C.
Epilepsy Society is conducting a
public education campaign to
combat such misunderstanding.

The B.C.. Epilepsy. Society

believes .everyone should know _

these basic facts about epilepsy: .

© Epilepsy is not a disease and is
not contagious. It is a disorder of
the brain caused by a temporary
generation:.of excess elec-
trochemical energy inside brain
cells. - -

*There is no single cause of
epilepsy. Epilepsy can be caused by
a number of events, such as birth

not be feared

trauma or severe head injury, or
can arise without being triggered
by any event.
*More than two million
Americans have epilepsy, with
about 100,000 new cases develop-
ing each year, mostly among
children.

Epilepsy is an episodic
disability. For most people with

* the disorder, seizures are brief and
‘infrequent. Between seizures, most

people with epilepsy are perfectly
normal and healthy.
® There are different kinds of
epilepsy, ranging froin convulsive
seizures to brief periods where the
person loses consciousness and
appears to daydream.
« For the vast majority of people
with epilepsy, medication can con-
tro] their seizures.
