| “Epilepsy is the most common serious brain disorder in every country in the world.”
“It is doubtful if any medical condition has been so universally neglected, due to a combination of social stigma, low profile and lack of resources.”

| “For a parent there is no such thing as a gentle entry into the world of epilepsy. One day your child has his first seizure. From there it is terrifying, agonising, devastating. It's not intellectual. We cope with whatever innate coping skills we have been given. Eventually we learn that information is only forthcoming on a sort of need-to-know basis. We learn to drum the prognosis from our vocabulary. We make lists of questions to ask during our rushed audiences with our physicians, but we are so naive as to the complexity of the disease that our questions often miss the mark and so frazzled by our emotions that logical processing of answers is all but impossible. So much of what we are told is too complicated. So much seems vague. The alternatives seem so limited. The ground rules seem so different.” By Jim Abrahams, a parent.
