Myth or fact: epilepsy is contagious. It's a myth! Epilepsy is not contagious. Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain's electrical activity and can cause seizures. It's not caused by germs, viruses, or bacteria that can be passed from one person to another like a cold or the flu. Instead, epilepsy can be caused by genetics, brain injuries, or have an unknown cause. People with epilepsy can live normal lives and interact with others without spreading the condition. It's important to understand that epilepsy is not something you can catch from being around someone who has it. Share this post to spread awareness 💜 (fb)

Epilepsy does not define you. Your dreams, your courage, your resilience: that’s what defines you. Send to a friend who needs to hear this 🫂 (fb)
