What Is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can vary in type and severity, ranging from brief lapses of consciousness to intense convulsions. While it can develop at any age, it often begins in childhood or adolescence.
Management typically involves medication, lifestyle changes & sometimes surgery. Understanding epilepsy is crucial, as it impacts not only the individual’s health and wellbeing but also their ability to engage in daily activities safely.
