Epilepsy Symptoms, Causes and More
Epilepsy is a neurological condition, most commonly characterized by abnormal changes in the brain activity, that can result in seizures. Two or more seizures at least 24 hours apart and not caused by an identifiable cause, like alcohol, is considered to be epilepsy. Several factors contribute to its development. While it may seem scary to those who develop it or witness a loved one's seizure, epilepsy can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes.1‘What Is Epilepsy?’ Epilepsy Foundation, 21 January 2014, www.epilepsy.com/learn/about-epilepsy-basics/what-epilepsy.
The seizures most commonly associated with epilepsy usually don't cause serious damage in the moment and stop on their own. Understanding this condition can better help those with epilepsy manage it more effectively.
