My child has been diagnosed with epilepsy – now what?
Epilepsy is one of the most common long-term conditions in childhood, affecting one child in every primary school, and five in every secondary school on average.
Yet if your child is diagnosed with the neurological condition – where the brain’s normal electrical activity is disrupted, causing seizures – chances are you won’t know where to turn, or what the future holds for you and your child.
To mark International Epilepsy Day on February 12, the charity Young Epilepsy is drawing attention to the condition and misconceptions surrounding it.
