A friend was telling me how he's had multiple seizures in his life this weekend. I asked if he had ever considered it being epilepsy. His response "nah, I'm good with flashing lights." He was shocked when I told him photosensitivity accounts for around 3% of epilepsy diagnosis😲

I think it's worth remembering how common a misconception this is. There are so many different types of epilepsy as well as seizure types. Would your friends/family know that? Find out about different seizure types epilepsy.org.uk/info/seizures-… Rich - Epilepsy Action #WorldBrainDay
