Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in Scotland today, and around 54,000 suffer from it - that's 1 out of 97. It can affect anyone, and affect them at any time, and doesn't discrimiate between young and old.

There are about 40 different types of seizures, and a person may have more than one type. But the right treatment can make a huge difference. Support through specialist centres and teams are vital to those who have epilepsy. We meet some of those who live with it and hear about how it impacts them and the lives of families and carers, and how they control and even overcome the condition through treatment and surgery.
