Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures or convulsions caused by abnormal brain activity. The exact cause of epilepsy is often unknown, but potential causes include brain injury, infections, genetics, and developmental disorders. Risk factors for epilepsy include a family history of the disorder, head injuries, brain tumors, stroke, and infections of the brain such as meningitis. Treatment for epilepsy often involves the use of anti-seizure medications and may include other interventions such as surgery or lifestyle modifications.
