November is Epilepsy Awareness Month! Epilepsy is a condition that affects the central nervous system. According to the Epilespy Foundation, 1 in 10 people will experience a seizure throughout their life, and 1 in 26 will develop epilepsy. Epilepsy and seizures result from abnormal circuit activity in the brain. Many people do not have knowledge of this incurable disorder because it is not discussed as much as it should be.
Individuals with epilepsy fight silent battles daily. If you know someone who has epilepsy be there for them as much as you can. If you’re battling with epilepsy, keep fighting and know that you are not alone. I’m rooting for you!
In honor of my cousin, Jaliea Barnes. 08/31/1999-08/08/2020. You’ll forever be a winner and you will forever live on.
