Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can vary widely in type and severity, ranging from brief lapses in attention or muscle jerks to prolonged convulsions and loss of consciousness. The condition can affect people of all ages, but it often begins in childhood or in older adults. The exact cause of epilepsy is not always known; however, it may result from genetic factors, head trauma, brain tumors, stroke, infections such as meningitis or encephalitis, and developmental disorders. Epilepsy is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, neurological examination, electroencephalogram, and imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans. Treatment usually involves antiepileptic medications that help control or reduce the frequency of seizures. In some cases, surgical intervention, vagus nerve stimulation, or dietary therapy such as the ketogenic diet may be recommended when medications are not effective. Living with epilepsy can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, affecting education, employment, and social interactions. Individuals with epilepsy may also experience anxiety, depression, and stigma associated with the condition. Despite these challenges, many people with epilepsy can lead full, active lives with appropriate treatment and support. Ongoing research continues to explore better diagnostic tools, more effective therapies, and potential cures for this complex neurological disorder.
