Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behaviour, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness.

 

Symptoms:

•    Temporary confusion
•    A staring spell
•    Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs
•    Loss of consciousness or awareness
•    Psychic symptoms such as fear, anxiety or Deja vu

 

Treatment:

Doctors generally begin by treating epilepsy with medication. If medications don't treat the condition, doctors may propose surgery or another type of treatment.
