Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which result from sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can vary widely in intensity and duration, manifesting as convulsions, loss of consciousness, or subtle changes in behavior. Causes include genetic predisposition, brain injury, infections, or developmental disorders. While medication helps control seizures for many, some individuals may require surgery or alternative therapies. Epilepsy can impact daily life, affecting employment, education, and social interactions. Stigma surrounding the condition persists in many cultures, leading to discrimination and misunderstanding. Education, support, and medical advancements are crucial in managing epilepsy effectively
