Seizures
Seizures occur when electrical activity in the brain is disrupted and can cause physical, cognitive, and/or emotional symptoms. Seizures can have a wide range of severity, from mild convulsions to complete loss of movement, consciousness, and control of bowel or bladder functions. The causes of seizures vary from person to person but can include genetic factors, physical head trauma, infections, poisoning, drug abuse, or cardiovascular issues. Seizure types can also be classified according to the area of the brain that is affected, such as focal seizures that originate from one section of the brain, or generalized seizures that affect both sides of the brain. Diagnosis of seizures should include a complete medical and neurological evaluation, as well as electrophysiological tests such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) or an MRI brain scan. Treatment may involve medication to reduce the chance of seizing, an anti-seizure diet, or surgery. The prognosis for seizure sufferers is highly variable and depends on the cause and type. Some people can become seizure free over time while others may have seizures for the rest of their lives. Those with chronic seizures should receive regular medical supervision and careful monitoring of their condition. Seizures are serious and can be life threatening but with proper diagnosis and treatment, it is possible for those with seizures to live a meaningful and healthy life.
