What is epilepsy?
epilepsy is a disease in which the affected person tends to repeat the seizures that begin in the brain. Our brains act as a center of reports of our body, and if any or the whole function of the brain is interrupted, a seizure may occur. The result of a seizure is that one often collapses or faints. Sometimes, however, one does not fall, but just "wasting" time, he did not know that seizures were affected.
Because epilepsy actually begins inside the brain, it is considered a neurological condition. A person may have only one seizures in his entire life, or perhaps repeated seizures. Only people with repeated seizures are referred to as epileptic. Anyone can have epilepsy and it is not certain why this happens. The disease is known to affect people of all age groups, races and economic intake.
The important fact is remembered that the "threshold of seizure" plays a key role in illness. Each of theS has an individual level of resistance or tolerance to seizures. This threshold is part of everyone's genetics and the chances of developing epilepsy depend on the threshold of your parents. People with thresholds of lower seizures are more likely to seizures than people with high thresholds. Someone with a high threshold is more likely to be related to epilepsy, perhaps due to an incident in the environment such as head injury. This person would not be considered an epileptic and unlikely to have a seizure due to genetic predisposition.
There are three types of epilepsy: symptomatic epilepsy occurs when there is a known cause such as head injury, brain infection, stroke or tissue scar on the brain.
idiopathic epilepsy does not show a clear cause of seizures and the affected person usually anonemic other disability. This form is usually initiated by a low seizure threshold and is very treatable.
cryptogenic epilepsy is diagnosed if any of the other two forms are not definitively diagnosed and is usually assumed that the physical reason is the cause. Doctors will usually be constantly examining until they find the cause of seizures.
The good news for suffering epilepsy is that up to 80% of people will become seizures.
