November 1 marks the start of National Epilepsy Awareness Month, a time to spread awareness about this neurological disorder and show support for those living with it. Epilepsy is estimated to affect more than 3 million people in the United States alone and can vary greatly in intensity from person to person. This month is an opportunity to learn more about epilepsy, how it affects individuals and their families, as well as what we can do to support those living with it. So get ready to join us in raising awareness for National Epilepsy Awareness Month!
