India marked National Epilepsy Day on November 17 to spread awareness about epilepsy, a neurological disorder causing recurrent seizures. The observance, led by the Epilepsy Foundation of India, promotes early diagnosis, timely treatment, and social acceptance. With nearly 10 million affected in India, experts stressed dispelling myths, improving access to neurological care, and supporting patients through education and medical camps. The day aims to reduce stigma, encourage prompt consultation, and strengthen community awareness about epilepsy.
