NOVEMBER IS Epilepsy Month
and the B.C. Epilepsy Society
wants people to be more aware of
how successful modern treatment
is and how to recognize early
symptoms of the disorder in
children.

“Epilepsy has been around since
the very earliest days of man’s his-
tory,’ explained Penny Hicks,
president. of the B.C. Epilepsy
Society.

“Ht appears in ancient law codes
and in the writing of Hippocrates.
All of which means that people
have had centuries to develop all
kinds of misinformation about it.
Today hundreds of thousands of
people with epilepsy are leading
normal, active lives despite epilep-
sy. Medical progress is opening
doors; we want to make sure that
the old myths and fears of the past
don’t shut them.””

Epilepsy affects about 30,000
people in Greater Vancouver and
more than 400,000 Canadians.

During Epilepsy Month, Epilep-
sy Canada aid B.C. Epilepsy
Society are providing free infor-
mation materials to the public on
request. Special presentations,
films, and conferences are being
sponsored in many parts of the
country. For further information
about the condition, contact the
B.C. Epilepsy Society, 1195 West
8th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C. V6H

West Vancouver Second-

a colorful start.
