Summary:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that produces recurrent seizures.
Seizures are brief bursts of electrical activity in the brain that disrupt its normal
functioning. They can induce a variety of symptoms.
Epilepsy can begin at any age, although it most commonly begins in childhood or
persons over the age of 60. It is frequently permanent; however, it can occasionally
improve gradually over time.
Symptoms:
Because epilepsy is caused by aberrant brain activity, seizures can disrupt any
process that the brain coordinates. An epileptic seizure may cause the following
signs and symptoms:
1. Temporary perplexity
2. Muscle stiffness while you look into the emptiness
3. Uncontrollable arm and leg twitching
4. Consciousness or awareness loss
5. Psychological symptoms such as fear, worry, or a sense of déjà vu

Symptoms vary depending on the type of seizure. In most cases, a person with
epilepsy usually has the same type of seizure each time; Hence, the symptoms are
similar from one episode to another.
