There are more than 40 varieties of epilepsy affecting 65 million people worldwide and 80% of patients live in low-middle and under- developed countries. There are many myths surrounding epilepsy especially in those under-developed countries; diagnostic dilemmas also occur when it comes to epilepsy as it mimics several other medical conditions. Nearly 70 % of patients with epilepsy can be controlled with single or multiple anti-epileptic drugs.
