Project Title: Education for justice and improvement: Epilepsy: there is a solution
Selected for Scholarships 2009-10, Master of Design Management, School of Design, IED Barcelona

- It’s a problem that has existed since the beginning of humanity

- Various reports: Biblical, famous historic figures and others not so famous

- Graphic and oral testimonies

Epilepsy has been attributed to multiple causes such as:

  • - Divine origin
  • - Devils origin
  • - Stigmas

- Two percent of the world’s population suffers from this condition.

- Epilepsy does not affect specific age, social status, income or religion groups

- There are many kinds of epilepsy

THE SOCIAL PROBLEM

- When people witness a crisis involving convulsions, it creates impact

- Good vs. evil

- Hereditary

Due to all these misconceptions, the patient may suffer the following economic and social consequences:

- Can’t study

- Can’t work

- Forces another member of the family out of work due to the attention required

- Medical and drug costs

Seventy percent of the patients can control their condition with medicine and have a NORMAL LIFE; however, most of them don’t have access to neither doctors nor medicine.

FUTURE

Its important to ensure that people with epilepsy, as well as the general population, learn more about this condition, so those who live with it can be able to live a regular full life.
