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.
