What Is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological condition defined by recurrent seizures resulting from unusual electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can differ in type and intensity, from brief episodes of unconsciousness to severe convulsions. Although epilepsy can arise at any age, it frequently starts during childhood or adolescence.
Management commonly includes medication, lifestyle adjustments, and occasionally surgical intervention. A solid understanding of epilepsy is essential, as it affects not only the individual’s health and wellbeing but also their capacity to participate safely in everyday activities.
