Dravet Syndrome is a rare form of untreatable epilepsy with symptoms typically arising within the first year of a baby's life. Henry Davidson was a healthy baby until seven months old, when he began to develop epileptic seizures. It occurs in around 1 in every 15,000 births in the UK. As well as severe, treatment-resistant seizures, Dravet Syndrome causes intellectual disability and a spectrum of associated conditions, which may include autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), challenging behaviour, and difficulties with speech, mobility, feeding and sleep. June is Dravet Syndrome Awareness month. Henry's mother, Rosie Davidson, from Blandford, spoke to Â鶹Éç Radio Solent's Steve Harris about how the condition has changed her family.
