What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that is defined by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. A seizure is a transient, involuntary electrical disruption of the brain that affects behavior, movement, sensations, and consciousness.

Epilepsy is caused by various reasons, such as genetics, head injury, stroke, brain infection, or developmental disorders. In the majority of people, seizures can be treated through proper therapy and management, allowing them to live an active and healthy life.

Common Types of Seizures

Seizures vary in intensity and type. The most common are:

  • Generalized seizures – Affect both sides of the brain (e.g., tonic-clonic or absence seizures)
  • Focal seizures – Start in one area of the brain, with or without loss of awareness
  • Unknown onset seizures – When the beginning of the seizure is not known or witnessed

Symptoms of Seizures

Symptoms of a seizure will differ based on the type, but typically include:

  • Sudden staring or lack of responsiveness
  • Involuntary shaking of the arms or legs
  • Transient confusion or loss of memory
  • Loss of consciousness or awareness
  • Abnormal feelings, such as odors or flashes of light

If you or a relative has experienced any of these symptoms, a neurological examination is necessary.
