Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes brain activity to become abnormal. Once this happens, epileptics may have seizures, loss of awareness, odd sensations, and/or a period of unusual behavior. If you or your child suffer from epilepsy, it’s likely related to a genetic influence, brain abnormalities, head trauma, prenatal injury, infections, or a developmental disorder.
Although it’s most common in childhood and late adulthood, epilepsy can develop at any age. Due to this, it’s important to keep an eye on yourself, especially if you’ve had any of the medical issues that can lead to this condition.
