Every year on the second Monday of February, International Epilepsy Day raises awareness about epilepsy. The day also focuses on epilepsy education and promotes ways to ensure all who need treatment receives it.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that is marked by episodes of sensory disturbances and convulsions called seizures. Abnormal electrical activity in the brain causes these seizures. Strokes, head injuries, genetic conditions, brain damage, and brain tumors are all known causes of the condition.
The International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) created International Epilepsy Day. The day has been observed since 2015. Today, more than 120 countries celebrate the day.
