MYTH #5: EPILEPSY IS RARE
Epilepsy is definitely not rare. Current estimates are that about three million people have epilepsy, and two hundred thousand people will be diagnosed with epilepsy this year alone. Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition.
I'm very open wth my daughter's diagnosis of epilepsy. It's probably to the point of obnoxiousness, but I have a hard time caring about that. Nearly every time I say, "My daughter has epilepsy," someone says, "Oh! I know someone with epilepsy!!" If it was such a rare condition, would most people be able to say that?
