What do you think of when you hear the word "epilepsy"? Approximately 1 in 100 Canadians has epilepsy, yet this condition remains enigmatic and could wrongly be source of shame for affected people. Although much is now known about the causes of epilepsy and a diverse array of therapies is available, yet much remains to be discovered. We have gathered some of the leading epilepsy experts in Canada including two neurologists, a neurosurgeon and a neuropsychologist to speak about what epilepsy is, what therapies are available and how the lives of people with epilepsy can be improved. They look forward to meeting you and answering your questions.
