Question 11363 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Damien Abad draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the treatment of epilepsy, the second most disabling neurological disease behind Alzheimer's disease. Epilepsy affects more than 500,000 people in France and access to care is increasingly unequal. This disease, especially in the youngest, must be treated very quickly, both for epilepsies deemed to be benign and for more disabling. He reminds him that 200,000 people are diagnosed late and find themselves in situations of serious therapeutic failure and that 90,000 children and adolescents suffer from this disease whose disability it causes is poorly accepted. The map of medico-social establishments specializing in epilepsy is edifying. While 20% of people with epilepsy have a significant disability, less than 20 establishments in France and certain regions completely devoid of establishments and neurologists. This disease, which affects 1% of the population, lacks appropriate responses, whether in schools, in adapted work or in ordinary environments and of course in specialized or non-specialized establishments. Also, he asks what measures the Government intends to take to enable better management of epilepsy.
