EPILEPSY

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the central nervous system characterized by sudden, spontaneous seizures caused by excessive electrical activity in a group of overstimulated neurons. When it comes to epilepsy, you've probably experienced at least two seizures.


Seizures are not epilepsy but symptoms or disorders with multiple causes that cause irritation and temporary neuronal malfunction.


Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by a persistent predisposition to seizures and the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of the condition. This broadens the concept of epilepsy to include not only the presence of seizures but also their physical, psychological, and social effects.


A person is considered epileptic when the tendency to have spontaneous seizures manifests itself in one of two ways:

  • When he had more than one seizure, the interval between seizures was more than 24 hours, but there was no direct causal factor.

  • When you have a single idiopathic seizure, it is necessary to indicate a tendency to relapse using conventional diagnostic methods.
