Increase funding into research on non epileptic attacks

Closed 403 signatures

What the petition asks

There are over 3000+ people with non epileptic attacks in the uk which not alot of people have heard about, we often struggle with daily things, from going out to cooking etc and we can also suffer from mental health issues, alot of us can have between 1-50+ attacks daily and cant call for help
Non epileptic is a disability over 3000 plus have to deal with daily it is a hidden illness it is a disabling neurological condition which means suffers are housebound and isolated with a poor quality of life, we ask the government to consider funding research into this condition as a pathway to improve treatment and speeding up diagnosis so that suffers get the help they need sooner. we cant call for ambulance as they cant treat us only if we get injured so please look into this for me.
