House Resolution 206, sponsored by Representative Vital, recognizes November as National Epilepsy Awareness Month. The resolution highlights the impact of epilepsy, a neurological disorder that affects over 3.4 million individuals in the United States, including 470,000 children. It emphasizes the prevalence of seizures, the challenges faced by those living with epilepsy, including stigma and barriers to education and employment, and the importance of effective treatments in managing the condition.

The resolution expresses support for the efforts of the Epilepsy Foundation in raising awareness and promoting education about epilepsy during this month. By honoring National Epilepsy Awareness Month, the House of Representatives aims to contribute to reducing stigma, increasing access to care, and improving outcomes for individuals affected by epilepsy. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation.
