“Epilepsy is not a rare disorder, 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy during their lifetime. It can occur on its own or alongside other health conditions of the brain, such as:

• Cerebral palsy
• Intellectual disability
• Autism
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Traumatic brain injury
• Stroke

There are rare epilepsies that affect a small number of people. Seizures may be difficult to control and there is a higher chance of other health conditions occurring.”
