The Florida House of Representatives has introduced a resolution designating November 2025 as "Epilepsy Awareness Month" in the state. This initiative aims to raise awareness about epilepsy, a prevalent neurological disorder that affects individuals of all demographics and is characterized by recurring seizures. The resolution highlights the significant barriers to healthcare access faced by people with epilepsy, including difficulties in affording necessary medications and finding appropriate healthcare providers. With over 500,000 individuals living with epilepsy in Florida, the resolution underscores the importance of awareness and education regarding this condition.

The resolution also emphasizes the potential for prevention and effective treatment of epilepsy, noting that 25% of cases could be prevented with proper care and that appropriate medication can control seizures in 70% of those affected. By designating November 2025 as Epilepsy Awareness Month, the Florida House of Representatives aims to promote understanding and support for individuals living with epilepsy, ultimately working towards improved health outcomes and reduced stigma associated with the disorder.
