Are you scared of me?

Nearly 90% of people with epilepsy face mental health issues because of their condition.

Together we can end the fear and public stigma that is feeding this crisis.

After his epilepsy diagnosis, Andy worried he was a burden and his mental health started to get worse.

That was until he found Epilepsy Action.

He found the right support and was able to regain that independence.

Andy got his life back.
