Celebrate the Purple Day on March 26 or the entire month of November to raise awareness about epilepsy. Organize a purple event at your office, a purple party at your home or with friends and gather everyone around you to get purple. Wear purple clothes, decorate everything in purple and use purple accessories (like purple caps, purple hoodies, purple epilepsy awareness bracelets, etc.) to boost up the awareness.

What is epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which the person experiences recurring seizures that cause unconsciousness, convulsions and other sensory disturbances. It is not an illness but it is a condition in which the person has one or more types of seizure. And it is diagnosed after the occurrence of one or two seizures by analyzing the seizure episodes, patient’s family and medical history and the diagnosis report. Here are some facts that everyone should know about epilepsy:

1. While counting on the most common neurological disorders, epilepsy comes on the fourth number.

2. It can happen to people at any age but is common among the children and the people who are over 65.

3. Brain tumor, brain infection, stroke, neurodevelopment disorders, prenatal and genetic factors are the known causes of epilepsy.

4. Convulsions, a staring spell, loss of consciousness, sudden uncomfortable movements (like jerking and pulling) are the most common symptoms of epilepsy.

5. Epilepsy is treatable; medications, surgery and vagus nerve stimulation are the treatments.

6. People with epilepsy are not limited to what they can do physically, though they can have some trouble in usual physical activity, during or after the seizure.

7. About 50 million people, all over the world, have epilepsy. And 80% of them belong to the developing countries.

8. People who have epilepsy before they reach the age of 20 are more likely to grow out of it in their adult life.

9. In most of the epilepsy cases, the seizures are stereotypic, i.e. the person experiences same behaviors or things every time he has a seizure.

10. It is not contagious; no one can catch epilepsy from the person who is having it.

11. The cause of epilepsy is unknown in 6 out of 10 cases.

Epilepsy can be treated in most of the cases, especially if detected at an early stage; so, there is a need for enhanced awareness about the cause so that people can go for diagnosis. You can use the social media to spread the word to a great extent and should also make efforts to raise awareness through offline means.
