A seizure disorder, also known as epilepsy, is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Seizures occur when there is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain, leading to various symptoms that can range from brief lapses in attention to convulsions. The exact cause of seizure disorders can vary, including genetic factors, brain injuries, or infections. Diagnosis typically involves a medical history review, neurological exams, and tests like an electroencephalogram (EEG) to monitor brain activity. Treatment options may include medications, lifestyle changes, or in some cases, surgery. Managing a seizure disorder often requires ongoing care and support from healthcare professionals.
