Epilepsy: A Neurological Disorder Characterized by Recurrent and Unprovoked Seizures

Soren Brunak

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder of the brain characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. These seizures may occur due to sudden excessive electrical discharges in certain regions of the brain. Epilepsy affects people of all ages, races and backgrounds and it can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. Despite its prevalence, there are still misconceptions and stigma surrounding epilepsy. In this study, we will discuss into the causes, symptoms and treatment options for epilepsy, aiming to provide a better understanding of this complex condition. Epilepsy etiology is a strong predictor of epilepsy severity, response to antiseizure medication.
