Some myths around epilepsy are centuries old but they still exist. When someone hears the word “epilepsy”, all we picture out a dramatic scene – A person shakes fiercely on the ground, person’s eyes roll to the back, etc. But some seizures are as subtle as a drooling mouth or a blank stare.

Despite its widespread prevalence, epilepsy continues to be misunderstood by the general public and underfunded in research initiatives. This general lack of knowledge leads to misconceptions and fear, mainly stemming from not knowing how to help during a seizure.

Let’s not talk about what is epilepsy, the causes and other facts. Here we will find facts about some of the common epilepsy myths or misconceptions, that have been running around.
