Seizure episodes are a result of excessive electrical discharges in a group of brain cells.  Health experts say that a single seizure or fit can not define epilepsy, two or more seizures are required to diagnose it.

Epilepsy is one of the world’s oldest recognized conditions, with written records dating back to 4000 BC. 

According to World Health Organisation, it is estimated that around 50 million people suffer from epilepsy around the globe out of which 80% of people are from low and middle-income countries.

  • congenital abnormalities or genetic conditions with associated brain malformations;
  • a severe head injury;
  • Prolong fever 
  • a stroke that restricts the amount of oxygen to the brain;
  • an infection of the brain such as meningitis, encephalitis or neurocysticercosis,
  • certain genetic syndromes; and
  • a brain tumour

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF EPILEPSY?

  1. Loss of consciousness 
  2. Sudden uncontrollable jerk in body 
  3. Tingling sensation (like pricking pins in legs or arms)
  4. Stiffness in body

IS EPILEPSY A CURABLE DISEASE?

Epilepsy is a curable disease but should be diagnosed at an early stage.

People suffering from seizures are advised to :

  1. Consult the doctor 
  2. Note down their symptoms properly 
  3. Take the proper medication with the consultation of a doctor.
  4. Do not stop the medication if not suffering from seizures without consulting the doctor.
  5. It is advised not to consume alcohol as it increases the chances of seizures.
