Suzukake Clinic participated in the 58th Annual Meeting of the Japan Epilepsy Society, held in Utsunomiya, proudly representing Purple Day Japan.

At our booth, staff members sold Purple Day merchandise and handmade items created by patients, helping raise awareness about epilepsy and collecting donations for future Purple Day events. Visitors also enjoyed taking photos with Purple Man, Purple Woman, and even Purple Baby – filling the venue with laughter and excitement as everyone inspired “PURPLE MAN!” for the camera.

Throughout the congress, we deeply appreciated the opportunity to connect with other epilepsy awareness advocates in both a professional and friendly atmosphere.

Our director, Dr. Fukuchi, served as Chair of several lectures held on October 3rd:

• Cannabidiol Mechanism of Action, Update on Clinical Development, and Real-World Evidence (Kishan Vyas)
• Cardiac Syncope in the Differential Diagnosis of Syncope: From the Perspective of a Pediatric Cardiologist and Arrhythmia Specialist (Jun Yoshimoto)
• Prognosis and Treatment of PNES (Kosuke Kanemoto)
• Management of Psychiatric Symptoms in Outpatient Epilepsy Care (Go Taniguchi)

We sincerely thank everyone who visited our booth and supported our activities. Together, we will continue promoting understanding, acceptance, and community for people living with epilepsy.
