The Bill of Rights for People Living with Epilepsy was created for people living with epilepsy by people living with epilepsy.

A team of adults with epilepsy, parents of children with epilepsy, epileptologists, neurologists, nurse practitioners and social workers came together with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater New York to develop the Bill of Rights, which offers information to help people become more involved in managing many aspects of their condition and includes guidance on topics such as rights at school and in the workplace and current information on epilepsy and treatment options.

These Rights are aspirations that the epilepsy community is working to achieve. They were designed with you in mind to ensure that living with epilepsy doesn't prevent you from getting the most out of life. The Rights are listed here. And your own personal copy, along with valuable information from Novartis, is yours for the asking.

This is an important step, and we're proud to take it with you.

The Epilepsy Foundation and its affiliates do not recommend any particular treatment option. We encourage people with epilepsy to talk to their doctor and find the treatment that is right for them.
