Epilepsy O ntario reports that each year more than 10,000 people in O ntario are diagnosed with epilepsy. For this reason. Epilepsy O ntario w ants to form a new chapter for the O akville, Milton and Halton Hills areas. Its first function will be a free m ed ical forum at the O akville C entral Library. 120 Navy St., on Thursday, Oct. 30 from 7 - 1 0 p.m. There will be two speakers at the forum , nurse practi tioner Irene Elliott from the Hospital for Sick C h ildren, and Dr. M cIntyre Burnham o f the U niversity o f T oronto's D epartm ent o f Pharmacology. They will be thoroughly discussing new treat ments and m edications for people living with epilepsy. Follow ing the speakers there will be a question and answ er period. Epilepsy is a disorder o f the nervous system, characterized by seizures. A seizure is triggered by a sudden, brief change in the brain's electrical circuitry. There are about 40 types o f seizures, the m ost com m on types being: G rand Mai o r Tonic Clonic, w hich cause the whole body to go into convulsions, and A bsence, where the person is in a unre sponsive day-dream like state and has little o r no m em ory o f occurrence. In 70 per cent o f cases, there is no known cause for the disorder. No cure for epilepsy exists yet, but there are several treatm ents, specifically targeting each form o f m anifestation. M any people w ho have epilepsy are reluctant to com ? out and talk about their disorder, mostly because o f the lack o f aw areness in the com munity. M isconceptions m ake it difficult for people living with epilepsy to gain good em ploym ent. "W ith the new chapter o f Epilepsy Oakville, we are working to dispel these m isconceptions and provide the help and support for those w ho have been living with epilepsy their entire lives or recently diagnosed w ith the disorder," said D ianna Findlay, Executive D irector o f Epilepsy Ontario.
