As a neurosurgeon specializing in epilepsy at the CHUM and a regular researcher at the CHUM Research Centre, I work every day with patients whose lives have been turned upside down by this debilitating disease. Epilepsy affects nearly 50 million people worldwide, and behind every diagnosis, there is a story, a family, a daily struggle.
