Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the brain and causes recurrent and unpredictable seizures. These seizures are episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which can vary in intensity and duration.
Epilepsy can be caused by various reasons, such as brain injuries, tumors, genetic diseases, or chemical imbalances. Symptoms may vary for each person and may include visible seizures, loss of consciousness, or moments of confusion.
Treatment for epilepsy may include medications, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, surgery.
