Working Toward a World Without Epilepsy

Epilepsy is the most common and potentially devastating neurological disease that affects people across the lifespan.

• 1 in 26 people will have epilepsy in their lifetime.
• Seizures know no boundaries, striking any age, any socio-economic level, and any ethnicity.
• Between 2.2 and 3 million Americans, including almost 400,000 children, live with epilepsy. Of those, one-third suffer treatment-resistant seizures that do not respond to currently available medications.
• In the United States, approximately 40% of epilepsy patients do not have access to expert and appropriate care.
