Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) is a common form of epilepsy that typically begins in adolescence. It is characterized by myoclonic jerks, which are sudden, brief muscle contractions. These jerks often occur shortly after waking up and can be triggered by lack of sleep, stress, or flashing lights. Individuals with JME may also experience generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which involve loss of consciousness and muscle stiffness. Treatment usually involves antiepileptic medications, and with proper management, many people with JME can lead normal lives. Early diagnosis and adherence to treatment are crucial for controlling symptoms.
