Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which the brain starts to act abnormally and causes seizures that could lead to loss of awareness. Seizure effects and symptoms could vary from one person to another as one person may blank out for a few seconds, and others might twitch their hands. People who have two or more seizures in a short period are at risk of developing epilepsy.
Epilepsy and seizures are typically treated with medication, and in some cases, the seizures can even disappear. There are also cases when a person takes medication for the rest of their lives to relieve their symptoms. Common treatments are anti-epileptic drugs, as a study suggests that they can control seizures in seven to 10 people. Common anti-epileptic drugs used are sodium valproate, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine.
