Epilepsy
Epilepsy is the medical term for a seizure disorder. A seizure is an attack caused by abnormal brain activity. A seizure commonly includes temporary confusion; loss of consciousness; a staring spell; or uncontrollable movements of the arms, legs, mouth, or tongue. Epilepsy is most commonly diagnosed during childhood and after age 65, but the condition can occur at any age. Epilepsy can also be caused by a traumatic injury to the brain such as an accident, disease, or stroke. To get answers to all your epilepsy questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.
Luckily, treatment may reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures, or possibly even stop them altogether.
