Improving the Lives of People Living with Epilepsy | Lesslie Young
According to World Health Organisation, around 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological conditions globally. It is estimated that up to 70% of people living with epilepsy could live seizure-free if properly diagnosed and treated. In Scotland alone, 55,000 people are affected by epilepsy. Children and older people are most at risk of developing this common serious neurological condition, but anyone can develop epilepsy at any time, and eight people a day in Scotland do.
