What is Epilepsy?

Understanding seizures and neurological health.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects people of all ages and may present as staring spells, sudden loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or generalized convulsions. With accurate diagnosis and proper treatment, most individuals with epilepsy can lead active and fulfilling lives.
