• Epilepsy
  Epilepsy is a brain disorder that results in repeated seizures. Nerve cells (neurons) normally communicate with each other through electrical impulses. During a seizure, these impulses become overactive, causing strange sensations, emotions, and behavior, or sometimes convulsions, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness. Having a seizure does not mean that a person has epilepsy. Only when a person has had two or more seizures is he or she considered to have epilepsy. Learn More
