Dealing with epilepsy misdiagnosis
The NHS states that epilepsy affects around 456,000 people in the UK, and many of these cases (though not all) are diagnosed in childhood. Essentially, epilepsy is not a condition in itself, but a combination of a range of other conditions that may manifest themselves in repeated fits or seizures.
Since there are a number of different factors at play when diagnosing epilepsy, its possible that epilepsy misdiagnosis may happen. What is more, if this misdiagnosis occurred in childhood, the long term effects to your mental health and general lifestyle may be considerable.
If you've been wrongly diagnosed with epilepsy, it may be possible to claim compensation for clinical negligence - simply contact Legal Advice Helpline today on 0800 612 3042 to find out how we can help.
