Dravet Syndrome
What is Dravet Syndrome?
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe form of epilepsy characterized by frequent, prolonged seizures often triggered by high body temperature, developmental delay, speech impairment, ataxia, hypotonia, sleep disturbances, and other health problems.
About

Medications are available, as well as ketogenic diets and varying types of therapies, which Tree of Hope can support.
