Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological state. This means it affects the brain and nervous system. Attacks can have an effect on all part of the brain. Areas of the brain called the temporal, occipital or frontal lobe are commonly affected. Each area of the brain does different task causing a different type of seizure - if the temporal lobe is affected, for example, this is called temporal lobe epilepsy.

People with epilepsy are more likely to develop depression than other people; it's important to be aware of that possibility so that you can get help early. Being unlock with friends and family about your condition is very important as you'll need to lean on them for support. Talk to your doctor about your unease. Listening to the experiences of other people with epilepsy and sharing with them can be comforting, and you can learn from each other.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes signal abnormally. In epilepsy, the normal pattern of neuronal activity becomes disturbed, causing strange sensations, emotions, and behavior, or sometimes convulsions, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness.
