Introduction
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Seizures can vary widely in type and severity, affecting awareness, movement, behavior, or sensation, and may significantly impact daily life, safety, and independence.
Effective epilepsy management requires precise diagnosis, accurate seizure classification, and individualized treatment planning.
With modern neurological care, many people with epilepsy can achieve good seizure control and maintain a high quality of life.
