Epileptic seizures are sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, movements, feelings, or consciousness. They can vary in intensity and duration, ranging from brief lapses of attention to severe convulsions. Seizures are classified into different types, including focal seizures, which start in one area of the brain, and generalized seizures, which affect both sides. People with epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, may experience these episodes unpredictably, impacting their daily lives and activities.
