What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that produces physical seizures, often characterised by sudden, uncontrolled movements or convulsions as well as loss of consciousness.

It is a chronic disorder, meaning that it does not go away and can last for years. There are many types of epilepsy, with each type having different symptoms and requiring different treatments. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain which results in the body’s muscles contracting uncontrollably for some time.

Types of Difficulties Experienced by Patients with Epilepsy

Patients with epilepsy may experience challenges with daily life activities such as walking, speaking, and writing due to their seizures. In addition to physical difficulties stemming from the seizures themselves, some patients may have difficulty controlling their emotions or have difficulty understanding or expressing language due to cognitive impairment caused by their condition.

Other difficulties can include diminished motor skills such as an inability to coordinate muscle movements, problems learning new tasks or remembering old ones, and confusion about what is happening around them due to sensory impairments caused by epilepsy.
