Early diagnosis, proper treatment, and a supportive environment can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals living with epilepsy. Proper treatment, which may include medication, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgical interventions, plays a pivotal role in controlling seizures and reducing their frequency and severity.”
Moreover, creating a supportive environment is essential for individuals with epilepsy to thrive. This involves raising awareness and understanding of the condition among family members, friends, educators, employers, and the broader community. By fostering a culture of acceptance and inclusivity, we can help individuals with epilepsy feel empowered and supported in their daily lives.
According to Dr. Vivek Barun, Consultant, Neurology & Epilepsy “Every individual living with epilepsy deserves access to compassionate care, understanding, and the latest treatment options. Together, let’s stand united in our commitment to breaking down barriers and ensuring that no one faces epilepsy alone.”
