“-New cases of epilepsy are most common among children, especially during the first year of life.

-The rate of new cases of epilepsy gradually goes down until about age 10 and then becomes stable.

-After age 55, the rate of new cases of epilepsy starts to increase, as people develop strokes, brain tumors, or Alzheimer’s disease, which all can cause epilepsy.”
