Tens of millions of people from all walks of life 各行各業、芸芸眾生 suffer from epilepsy癲癇, a chronic neurological神經系統 disorder that disrupts破坏 the normal pattern形式 of neutral activity and results in seizures驟發. 
The word epilepsy comes from the Greek word epi, meaning “upon,” and lepsis, meaning “seizure.” 
Together those words imply暗指 that a person affected by this condition is seized by some unseen force無形之力. 
       Though雖然 epilepsy is a serious嚴重的 disease, many important historical figures歷史人物 , such as Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte, are believed to have had it.

Dostoevsky even described epilepsy as mystic and sublime極好 ecstasy欣喜若狂、毒品、搖頭丸. 
       Epilepsy is actually one of the world’s oldest identified medical disorders and it was long marked by misunderstanding.

Though it affects 50 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, and two hundred thousand people in Taiwan, it is a highly treatable condition that should be met with understanding.
