My name is Sean and I am a student at Harrogate
College of Arts and Technology.I am currently studying for a National Diploma in
Information Technology and as part of my course I have been given an Assignment
and been asked to write this Web Page for the Net! The
British Epilepsy Association
is an association which helps the sufferers and families of the
illness, as well as informing the public about the disorder.If you would like to
find out more you can access the British Epilepsy
Association WebSite by contacting them on the address above or by

Epilepsy is a condition not a disease, of the Brain. It is a condition which is not commonly understood, Seizures or Fits, are caused by a fundamental break in the electrical circuits of the Brain With around 250,000 adults and approximately 100,000 children being epileptic in the UK and 1 in every 130 people suffering from this illness, the public still treat this illness with doubt, as a sufferer myself I have experienced some of the uncertainty in people's attitudes.
Epilepsy can not be contracted in any way, it is often caused by either a head injury or by natural causes. Everyday 82 people are told they are Epileptic and with 1 in every 130 people already afflicted by this condition, we begin to see this disorder is actually more common than we think.
