Overview

Over 600,000 people in the UK have epilepsy.

Epilepsy is a common and serious neurological condition which affects the brain and nervous system. Seizures always start in the brain and are caused by many different underlying causes, including a person's genetics, a structural change in the brain or from other underlying conditions.

There are over 40 different types of seizure, and not all of them are physical which is why epilepsy can also be an invisible condition.
