About "Epilepsy"

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder, which causes seizures, periods of unusual behavior, and loss of awareness due to abnormal brain activity. The symptoms include confusion, jerking movements of the arms and legs, loss of consciousness, fear, and anxiety. Epilepsy can be caused due to head trauma, brain tumors, stroke, meningitis, viral encephalitis, prenatal injury, autism, and neurofibromatosis. Seizures that involve all areas of the brain are called generalized seizures, and seizures occurring in just one area of the brain is called partial or focal seizures. The types of generalized seizures are called absence seizures, tonic seizures, atonic seizures, clonic seizures, myoclonic seizures, and tonic-clonic seizures.
