The
incidence of epilepsy is higher in older persons
than in children. Despite this, it often goes
undiagnosed and untreated. (Geriatrics, Feb
2000).
Statistics
show that there has been a marked increase (or
recognition) of seizures appearing in people
over 65 years of age. It is estimated that by
the year 2025, 50% of new onset seizures will
be in older persons.
