Addressing the Stigma Surrounding Epilepsy

Unfortunately, the stigma of living with seizures is felt by members of the epilepsy community on a regular basis in many different aspects of life. Stigma can be the biggest struggle of a person’s epilepsy journey. But what if there was a way to change this narrative? Collectively, we want to Change Our Epilepsy Story to shift the conversation from silence to one of education, safety, and the pursuit of new treatments and one day, a cure. How will you Change Your Story?
