Epilepsy affects over 3 million Americans and 50 million people worldwide. This is more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson’s disease combined. 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. In the US, the cost of epilepsy is about $15.5 billion per year. Epilepsy research is severely under-funded.
