Abstract
Epilepsy is a common and chronic neuro-disability that affects over 60 million people worldwide. The vast majority lives in lowand middle-income countries. Three-fourths of people with epilepsy in these settings remain untreated; this is known as the treatment gap [1]. Social acceptance of people with epilepsy is largely dependent on several population ideas of epilepsy and often represents a considerable problem for patients and their families. Social discrimination against people with epilepsy is mainly due to or can be deduced from an incorrect idea of helplessness, personal sensitivity, or mental retardation, or fear of being confronted with seizures [2].
