๐ Itโs Epilepsy Awareness Week ๐
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, yet itโs often surrounded by myths and misunderstanding. Seizures donโt always look the same โ some may be obvious, while others are so subtle they can go unnoticed.
This week is about bringing more light, compassion, and awareness to those living with epilepsy. Together, we can replace fear with understanding and stigma with support.
