What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a condition that causes seizures. Seizures are electrical disturbances in the brain. Epilepsy can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, brain injuries, and infections.
Symptoms of Epilepsy
The symptoms of epilepsy can vary depending on the type of seizure. Some people may experience loss of consciousness, while others may only have twitching or shaking. The risk of epilepsy can be reduced by avoiding triggers, such as stress, fatigue, and flashing lights.
Diagnosis and Treatment for Epilepsy
Epilepsy can be diagnosed with an EEG, which is a test that measures the electrical activity of the brain. Epilepsy can be treated with medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes. People with epilepsy can live full and active lives with proper medical care. If you have epilepsy, consult our doctors in the Neurosciences department of Aster Whitefield Hospital. They can help you manage your condition and live a healthy life.
