On March 26, 2024, the world observes Epilepsy Awareness Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the neurological condition that impacts over 50 million individuals across the globe.

"Epilepsy Awareness Day aims to increase public knowledge about the neurological condition that affects over 50 million people worldwide," stated the organizers of the event.

As a symbol of solidarity and support for those affected by epilepsy, individuals are encouraged to wear purple on this day. "Be sure to wear purple today in a show of support for those with epilepsy," urged the organizers of the event.

By wearing purple and participating in awareness campaigns, people can contribute to reducing the stigma surrounding epilepsy and fostering a more inclusive and understanding society.
