Epilepsy is a neurological disease affecting some 150,000 Americans yearly, and the disorder causes seizures that can run a range of mild to severe. The condition can begin at any age but is most commonly diagnosed in people under 20 and those over 65.

For the most part, those diagnosed with epilepsy can lead normal lives. The condition can be treated with medicine, surgery and other treatment options like eating a ketogenic diet or wearing a vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device.
There are a number of famous people with epilepsy who have had brilliant careers and offered excellent advice on thriving with the neurological condition

Here are three iconic figures with epilepsy who have inspired many along the way:

1. Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, at age 42, became the 26th President of the United States, and he was also an American living with epilepsy. At the time, he did not come forward to reveal he had epilepsy, and very few knew of his condition because he was so active outdoors and went about normal life despite other medical issues like asthma and poor eyesight.
Roosevelt had powerful words for motivating others:

“Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength.”
