(REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER : 1O5O459) Why We Exist The Facts About Epilepsy and Sudden Death Help for People Bereaved Through Epilepsy If you would like further information about S.U.D.E.P. or the charity or would like to help us, please write to us at P.O. Box 1777, Bournemouth BH5 1YR. Why We Exist In 1996, over 1,OOO people died from epilepsy in the UK. Some of these deaths are attributable to accidents. The majority of these deaths, however, were not accidental, but were the result of a seizure itself. Most of the people who have died are young people who, although in otherwise good health, died suddenly, usually in their sleep. This is known as Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy or S.U.D.E.P Epilepsy Bereaved ? is a registered charity which grew out of a self-help group of bereaved families which formed in the early 199O's. The use of the question mark after our name was to challenge those who would deny that people died from epilepsy and to highlight the fact that so little was actually known about the subject. In 1996 these families launched a charity during a service of remembrance to all those who had died from epilepsy and who had been forgotten. WHY WAS S.U.D.E.P FORGOTTEN ?

Epilepsy Epilepsy is a neurological condition which presents in as many as 50 different types. It is diagnosed when someone has recurrent seizures (also known to many people as fits, grand mal, petit mal, absences). It is caused by excess electrical activity in the brain.
