Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behaviour, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness.
Seizure symptoms can vary widely. Some people with epilepsy simply stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms or legs. Having a single seizure doesn't mean you have epilepsy. At least two unprovoked seizures are generally required for an epilepsy diagnosis.
Symptoms-
(1) Temporary confusion
(2) A staring spell
(3) Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs
(4) Loss of consciousness or awareness
(5) Psychic symptoms such as fear, anxiety or deja vu
Types of epilepsy- (1) Idiopathic (2) Symptomatic
Classification-
1- Simple Partial
2- Generalized-
(A) Absence seizures
(B) Tonic seizures. Tonic seizures cause stiffening of your muscles. These seizures usually affect muscles in your back, arms and legs and may cause you to fall to the ground.
(C) Atonic seizures. Atonic seizures, also known as drop seizures, cause a loss of muscle control, which may cause you to suddenly collapse or fall down.
(D) Clonic seizures
