Dear Epilepsy | 23

Dear Epilepsy,


80 people are diagnosed with you every NHS working day, you kill around 1,000 people each year, if you were a human being you would be called, sick, psychotic, evil, but because you are almost invisible to people society's attitudes seem nonchalant, as if it doesn't even matter. In England and Wales, you claim more lives than AIDS and Cot Death combined, and yet people still don't seem to take you seriously, until you effect them in some way or another. For those you do affect, we have the daunting task of managing you, and the impact you have on our lives. That could be solved if just more people took you seriously Epilepsy, if more people took notice of you, we might be able to find a cure and beat you once and for all.
