🧠 What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder marked by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It can affect people of all ages and often requires long-term care.

✔️ Common Causes of Epilepsy

✔️ Brain injury or trauma
✔️ Stroke or brain tumors
✔️ Genetic or developmental disorders
✔️ Infections (e.g., meningitis, encephalitis)
✔️ Unknown causes (idiopathic epilepsy)

⚠️ Symptoms of Epilepsy

✔️ Temporary confusion or blank staring
✔️ Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs
✔️ Loss of consciousness or awareness
✔️ Sudden fear or anxiety without a trigger
✔️ Repetitive movements (lip-smacking, blinking, etc.)

🩺 Diagnosis of Epilepsy

✔️ EEG (Electroencephalogram): Measures brain wave activity
✔️ MRI or CT Scan: Detects brain abnormalities
✔️ Blood tests: Checks for infections or genetic causes
✔️ Neurological exam: Assesses reflexes, coordination, and motor skills

🌟 Treatment Options for Epilepsy

✔️ 1. Medication (Anti-Seizure Drugs)

First-line treatment for most people with epilepsy.

✔️ Common drugs: Carbamazepine, Valproate, Lamotrigine, Levetiracetam
✔️ Goal: Control seizures with minimal side effects
✔️ Many patients become seizure-free with the right medication

✔️ 2. Surgery

For patients whose seizures don’t respond to medication.

✔️ Removes or isolates the part of the brain causing seizures
✔️ Includes lobectomy, lesionectomy, or corpus callosotomy
✔️ Requires thorough evaluation with brain mapping

✔️ 3. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

✔️ A small device is implanted under the skin to send signals to the brain
✔️ Helps reduce seizure frequency and intensity

✔️ 4. Ketogenic Diet

✔️ High-fat, low-carbohydrate diet
✔️ Effective in some children with drug-resistant epilepsy
✔️ Supervised by medical and dietary professionals

✔️ 5. Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS)

✔️ A device detects and responds to seizure activity in the brain
✔️ Used in adults with focal seizures
