Understanding Epilepsy: Empowering Lives Through Comprehensive Care

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, which occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can manifest in numerous ways, ranging from brief moments of staring to more dramatic convulsions involving the entire body.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Seizure symptoms can vary significantly and include:

• Temporary confusion

• Staring spells

• Uncontrollable jerking movements

• Loss of consciousness or awareness

• Psychological symptoms such as anxiety, fear, or déjà vu

Early recognition of these symptoms is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
