Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures or episodes of altered consciousness.

Epilepsy affects people of all ages but it is more common in children and older adults. There are many different types of epilepsy, each with its own causes, symptoms, and treatments. Treatment options include medications, lifestyle changes, surgery, and other therapies. With proper treatment and management, people with epilepsy can lead normal lives.
