THERE ARE OVER 40 TYPES OF SEIZURE
There are over 40 different types of seizure, and it is estimated that 30% of people with epilepsy live with uncontrolled seizures that do not respond to medication. That is why we have invested over £2 million into research to improve seizure control for people with epilepsy.
