“Epilepsy is not just one condition, but a group of many different ‘epilepsies’ with one thing in common: a tendency to have seizures that start in the brain. Epilepsy is usually only diagnosed after a person has had more than one seizure. Not all seizures are due to epilepsy (that is why we have diagnostic testing done in determining what caused the seizure so the MD can make the right treatment for that person).”
