Harry Laughlin was an American eugenics who worked at the Eugenics Record Office (ERO), together with Charles Davenport, and they supported many of the measures which later came to be associated with Hitler's Third Reich, including the elimination of the bottom ten percent of society, the feebleminded (which they never defined), the hereditarily defective, and had a special antagonism toward epileptics. The Nazis took much inspiration from Laughlin and Davenport's work in the US. One can say that if the seeds for Eugenics were first planted in London England, they then germinated in the US under the auspices of the ERO, and that then Hitler brought them to full fruition in Germany as the final solution. Their work, together with the racist propaganda of such organizations such as the Human Betterment Foundation, helped to laid the foundation for the Third Reich's philosophy. Ironically, Harry H. Laughlin, who claimed that epilepsy was synonymous with feeblemindedness, and that people with epilepsy did not belong in society, died of epilepsy (see Edwin Black's War Against the Weak).

Charles Dickens was believed to have been diagnosed with epilepsy in 1858 after having a seizure at a train station. He experienced several seizures throughout his life, which affected his health and writing productivity. Dickens kept his condition private due to the stigma associated with epilepsy at the time.
Epilepsy is not considered until you have had more than one seizure. In order to be diagnosed with epilepsy, a neurologist will have an EEG done. This reads the electrical activity in your brain. From there, the doctor can determine weather or not you are epileptic.
Anyone can be affected by Epilepsy. About 1 in every 200 people have Epilepsy. Epilepsy is diagnosed when you have recurring seizures. However almost everyone can have some sort of a seizure at some point in their lifetime, and never have one again. There are many causes for Epilepsy and many forms. Epilepsy is basically a catch-all term for the many forms that there are.
