“Many patients do not receive state-of-the art care, and in some regions of the world, 90% of patients with epilepsy are not on any medication,” said Steven Schachter, MD, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, in Boston, and president of the American Epilepsy Society. The heavy toll imposed by undiagnosed, untreated, and suboptimally treated epilepsy is significant, diminishing quality of life and raising risk of disability and death for many individuals, he said.
