Seizure Disorders
Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity that change how a person feels, moves or is aware. Not every seizure means epilepsy.
Key points
- A seizure can affect awareness, movement or sensation, and what happened before, during and after an episode helps a clinician tell seizure disorders apart from other events.
- Seizure disorders are broadly managed with antiseizure medicines that aim to reduce how often episodes occur.
Medicines listed for Seizure Disorders
