Epilepsy is the biggest health secret in the world. 1% of the British population suffers from epilepsy and 4% will develop it in their lifetime. That is a huge number of people, and means that if you know 16 people, 1 person probably has epilepsy – whether they told you or not.
Did you know there are 5.4 million people in the UK who provide care for a friend or family member? I bet you didn’t know that this group of people are twice as likely to suffer from poor health as the rest of the population. Caregiving is hard, and it’s time caregivers got the recognition they deserve.
