On Wednesday 24 May, on the occasion of the National Epilepsy Day, the facade of the Palace Hall will be illuminated in orange color, color associated with this disease.
The objective of this initiative is to raise public awareness and raise awareness of this disease.
With this day, we also seek to counteract the myths that go hand in hand with it.
Epilepsy is a very common disease; it is estimated that in Europe there are approximately 6 million people with epilepsy, affecting in Spain around 400 000. Frequently and by ignorance of society, people with epilepsy face many difficulties in Their daily lives that sometimes cause more psychological problems than the disease itself.
Epilepsy is a disease characterized by the occurrence of epileptic seizures caused by an imbalance in the electrical activity of neurons.
It is important that society understands that it is a very frequent neurological disease and that an adequate diagnosis and treatment allow to lead, to the majority of people, a normal life.
Correct diagnosis and new advances in treatment manage to control seizures in 75% of patients and more so if they are children.
