Epilepsy: surrounded by fallacy

Many people believe that epilepsy is contagious, untreatable and completely inherited. None of this is true.

Epilepsy (from the Greek epilepsia, seizure) is a common condition, dating back thousands of years. Yet it is still poorly understood.

Epilepsy is a disorder, not a disease. In about 70% of cases, it can be treated with medication, which can cost as little as US$5 a year person. In some cases, surgery can also be effective.

Anything that damages the brain can cause epilepsy. Infectious diseases, such as malaria, birth complications and malnutrition are more likely to cause it than genetics. It isn't surprising, then that the incidence of epilepsy is higher in poor countries. Yet more than 80% of the world's anti-epileptic drugs go to industrialized countries. This is partly due to door health system infrastructure and because epilepsy is not recognized as a priority in many developing countries.

Many people with epilepsy have lived successful lives. Some historical figures who had the condition include Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Ludwig van Beethoven and Socrates.
