What is epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. These seizures result from abnormal electrical activity in the brain leading to a temporary disruption in normal brain function. It affects people of all ages, and its severity can range from mild to life-altering.

 

CAUSES OF EPILEPSY

The exact cause of epilepsy often remains unknown, but several factors can contribute, including:

  • Genetic Factors: Some types of epilepsy are inherited.

  • Head Injury: Trauma to the head can trigger seizures. 

  • Tumors, strokes, and infections can lead to epilepsy.

  • Developmental Disorders: Conditions like autism can increase epilepsy risk.  Metabolic Abnormalities: Imbalances in the body's chemistry may play a role.

 

SYMPTOMS OF EPILEPSY

The symptoms vary depending on the type of seizures. Common symptoms include: 

  • Uncontrollable jerking movements

  •  Loss of consciousness

  • Temporary confusion

  •  Staring spells 

  • Emotional change
