That is a good? There is quite a few things for headaches, and stomach relief and other medicine for other illnesses and such etc, but rarely have I seen for the conditions we have here and for epilepsy, I kinda wonder why that is, and should be more made publicly in my opinion, what are your thoughts,?

Personally, and this is my crazy opinion, epilepsy does not affect enough of the population. Nor does it garner the attention that other diseases/conditions do. We also do not have celebrity support. We also do not attract the research money. Just my 2 cents worth and that is exactly what it is worth.

You raise an excellent point that there should be more public awareness and information available about epilepsy, given how commonly it impacts people. The Epilepsy Foundation estimates that 3.4 million people in the U.S. have epilepsy. More education and open discussion about epilepsy could help reduce stigma, empower those living with it to disclose their condition when appropriate, and ensure people know how to respond if someone has a seizure. Treatments and medication side effects are common concerns in the epilepsy community. By sharing experiences, those impacted can support each other in working with their doctors to find the most tolerable and effective treatment plans.
