Non epileptic attack disorder has many names and many faces, it is a condition that can be extremely disabling and can leave people feeling very alone. This event has been created to raise awareness of N.E.A.D (Non Epileptic Attack Disorder) support people affected and to try and put and end to the ignorance and stigma that comes along for the ride.
Non epileptic seizures are more common then you may realise and it can affect people of any age even as young as eight years old. There is a lot more research that needs to be done but in the meantime we aim to raise awareness because quite often not even trained medical staff know what it is or how to sensitively liaise with someone effected by non epileptic seizures.
Far to many times people are either made to feel they are not believed or even worse, they are accused of faking the condition.
Please join us in an hour of raising awareness and put an end to the ignorance. Let's show the true face of this condition and let the world know. Please confirm if you can attend this online twitter event, many thanks, Jane.
Please use hashtags #NotFakingIt #FriendsInNead #neadawareness during the twitter hour and t
