Epilepsy Awareness Month is observed every March, primarily in Canada, and aims to promote understanding and support for individuals facing neurological challenges associated with epilepsy. The month is marked by various activities designed to raise awareness and reduce stigma, including educational initiatives about the condition, which affects approximately 1.2% of the total population. Participants often wear purple, the color associated with epilepsy support, and may engage in campaigns like "I Am 1 in 100," encouraging individuals with epilepsy to share their stories and interests. Notable landmarks across Canada, such as Niagara Falls, are illuminated in purple to celebrate this month. Additionally, Purple Day is celebrated on March 26, further emphasizing the importance of awareness and support for those impacted by epilepsy.
