Today, more than 65 million people in the world live with this diagnosis. Let's look at a high school student, Sasha. He plays on the school basketball team. One day, he had a seizure during a lesson in class. Do you think Sasha should continue his basketball training and competition regimen, or exclude stress for the sake of safety? Or the story of Irina, 30, a designer, works remotely. One day, she had an epileptic seizure in a cafe, she lost consciousness. What would you do first if you happened to be nearby? Informing about epilepsy is an important step to making the life of patients with this diagnosis more comfortable and safe. So that people with epilepsy are not alone, lead an active lifestyle and can receive first aid and assistance even from strangers. The Commonwealth Foundation for Assistance to Epilepsy Patients is the only charitable foundation in Russia that not only disseminates information about epilepsy, but also provides targeted assistance to children and young adults under 25. During its work, the foundation has helped pay for pre-surgical and genetic tests for 139 children with epilepsy. These expensive tests help to clarify the cause of the disease, choose effective therapy or prepare for surgery, and therefore provide a chance for the normal development of the child and a future life without seizures. 70% of people with epilepsy can live without seizures - with proper diagnosis and treatment. Almost everyone witnesses an epileptic seizure at least once in their life - and everyone, knowing a few simple rules, can provide the right first aid. For more than 17 years, the Commonwealth Foundation has been supporting those affected by epilepsy and telling about the features of this disease.
