What do Theodore Roosevelt, Napoleon Bonaparte, Neil Young and Prince have in common? They all had epilepsy.
“Epilepsy looks different from person to person,” says Beth Dean, CEO of CURE Epilepsy, a non profit working to fund grants and raise awareness of epilepsy. “There are over 40 medications for treatment, various devices to help control seizures, as well as surgery, and still, a third of the patients, or 1.2 million people in the nation, aren’t able to control their epilepsy.”
