More than three million people in the U.S.
-- and over 65 million people worldwide
-- live with epilepsy. People with epilepsy
have seizures -- unexpected electrical
"storms" in the brain.
Every year, 1 in 150 people who have
uncontrolled seizures dies from sudden
unexpected death in epilepsy, known as
SUDEP.
Knowing your risks, talking with your health
care team, taking action to manage your
seizure, and working towards the best
seizure control possible may help reduce
SUDEP risk.
Seizures impact their lives in many ways
including creating barriers to employment
and education and facing a sense of
discrimination and isolation from their
peers who donʼt understand what happens
when they see a seizure occur.
