Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by repeated, unprovoked seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy seizures can interfere with the movement, thoughts, senses, mood, or even consciousness and usually without any warning. The typical cause involves head injury, stroke, brain tumors, infection, certain medicines, or abrupt withdrawal of alcohol or drugs. Approximately 1 in every 100 individuals globally have epilepsy. There are two broad categories: normalized epilepsy, involving both sides of the brain and tending to cause cramps, and focal seizures, which involves only one region. Treatment involves anti-seizure medication, stress reduction and alcohol avoidance lifestyle modification, and, where necessary, surgery. While there is no cure, with correct attention, most individuals with epilepsy are able to manage their seizures and lead a full, active life.
