What is Epilepsy?
Considered to be one of the most common and chronic neurological disorders, Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures. The seizures in this case are occurred because of the uncontrolled or abnormal activity in the brain. Epilepsy can occur throughout the life or during certain stage or stages of life. For example, seizures can occur throughout childhood but could suddenly start to disappear during adult stage. The symptoms and the triggers for the seizures can vary depending on the individual.
