Human rights and support groups to improve quality of life, self-care and disability in epilepsy

Epilepsy is one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders [33]. The majority of people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries, where there are significant gaps in accessing effective treatment [34]. Furthermore, people diagnosed with epilepsy and their family members frequently suffer stigmatization and discrimination from those around them [34], which is associated with greater disability [18].
