Epilepsy - Types of Epilepsy

Imchospital1219 Feb, 2025Health

Around 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy. It is distinguished by recurrent seizures, which are brief bursts of uncontrollable movement that might affect the entire body or just a portion of it. Seizures are caused by excessive electrical discharges in a group of brain cells, which can impact several brain regions. These discharges can cause a variety of seizures, ranging from mild attention lapses or muscular jerks to severe, persistent convulsions. The frequency of seizures varies, with some people having many per day and others having fewer than one per year. Epilepsy is diagnosed after two or more spontaneous seizures.
