Today, we mourn the loss of a giant in the field of Neurology. Prof. U.K. Misra from SGPGI Lucknow was more than just a brilliant academic; he was a dedicated healer whose commitment to patient care and society was exemplary.

​Those who had the honor of knowing him will remember not just his clinical mastery, but his deep humility and kindness. His demise leaves a void in the medical world that can never be filled.

​Our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and the countless students he mentored.

​Rest in peace, Prof. Misra. Your legacy lives on.

💜 Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness 💜

On this Purple Day, let’s come together to shine a light on epilepsy — a neurological condition that affects millions in India and around the world.

Watch this powerful message from Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Tim David from Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They remind us that with awareness, understanding, and timely care, people living with epilepsy can lead full, active lives — just like champions on the field.

Key facts everyone should know:

Epilepsy is treatable in most cases with proper medical care.
Anyone can have a seizure — it does not define a person.
Stigma and myths still prevent many from seeking help.

The Indian Epilepsy Society urges all of us to:
Wear purple and spread awareness
Break the silence and myths around epilepsy
Support those living with the condition with empathy and knowledge

Small actions today can create big change tomorrow. Share this video, talk about it with your family and friends, and help build a more inclusive society.

Together, let’s turn purple into hope.

Managing Stress and Anxiety: A Guide for Epilepsy Patients

Living with epilepsy can sometimes feel overwhelming, but remember, you’re stronger than you think! Stress and anxiety are common triggers for seizures, but with the right strategies, you can take control and improve your quality of life.

Here’s how:

Practice Relaxation Techniques: Try deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation to calm your mind and body.

Stay Active: Incorporate gentle exercises like walking, yoga, or tai chi into your routine – they boost mood and reduce stress.

Build a Support Network: Talk to friends, family, or join a support group. Sharing your experiences can make a big difference.

Seek Professional Help: Consider talking therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or consult your doctor about options.

Prioritize Self-Care: Get enough sleep, eat balanced meals, and set boundaries to avoid burnout.

Studies show that these methods can even help reduce seizure frequency for some people. You’re not alone – reach out to us at epilepsyindia.org for more resources and support.
