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

Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages.  Seizure symptoms can vary widely.

At least two unprovoked seizures are generally required for an epilepsy diagnosis.”
