Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the nervous system and can develop in any person at any age, although it's more common for men than for women (Carlson, Dugan, Kirsch, & Friedman. 2014). There is a variety of seizures a person with epilepsy may experience depending on which part(s) of the brain is affected by the electrical burst of activity in the brain and how much of the brain is affected (Petersen, Walker, Runge, & Kessler, 1998). Seizures symptoms can range from undetectable

The Human Element of Epilepsy Take a moment and imagine a life that is lived through flickers of moments, flickers that cannot be controlled. One can somewhat comprehend situations or circumstances that have happened throughout their day, but large fragments of life just seem to vanish for no apparent reason. Moments that cannot be regained, there is no recollection of conversations that were had, or activities that were participated in. Over time medical attention is sought, and after a serious

present moderate intellectual disability and a chronic illness of epilepsy are both equally important in providing care just like any other health condition. An intellectual disability is defined by having an intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour impairments caused by impairment of the brain at childbirth and causes genetic defects, toxins and alcohol exposure and decreased oxygen supply to the brain (Burack et al., 2012). Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of the brain, causing recurrent episodes

STUDY OF STRESS IN EPILEPSY INTRODUCTION: Epilepsy is a disorder of brain dysfunction stressing the role of heredity in the disease. It is a condition or state in which recurrent spontaneous unprovoked seizures occur, which are convulsive or non- convulsive episodes. Stress is a condition of emotional strain and tension where in some epilepsy people can lead to increased trigger on seizure generation. It is a non-specific response of the body to any noxious stimulus (1). Most of the participants

Epilepsy is characterized as a brain disorder in which you have a tendency to trigger seizures. It occurs when there is a abnormal or excessive amount of electrical activity in the brain, and is usually diagnosed after a person has two or more seizures that are not caused by medical conditions. Epilepsy is very common in society today. 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime and 65 million people already have epilepsy worldwide. After any type of epileptic seizure episodes of sensory

Epilepsy is a neurological condition marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, or convulsions, associated with abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It is the tendency to have seizures that start in the brain. The brain is made up of millions of nerve cells that use electrical signals to control the body’s functions, senses and thoughts. If the signals are disrupted, the person may have an epileptic seizure (sometimes called a ‘fit’ or ‘attack’). The

sequence, there is a protein causing the disease epilepsy. Epilepsy is an untreatable disease within the brain. There are irregular actions within the nerve cells in the brain. This causes the nerve cells to be disrupted which then leads to seizures. Although anyone can develop epilepsy at any given time, it has a tendency to appear in genetic codes passed from generation to generation. A person is more likely to get the disease epilepsy if their family has a consistent history of seizures

Epilepsy is a condition in which the afflicted person experiences recurrent seizures, of which there are many varieties. These seizures have many causes (but the mechanism of some of these causes are still unknown) and treatment options. In some cases they can even be completely controlled. However, when they are not controlled it is very important to react in the correct way otherwise there is a risk of further endangering the patient who is having a seizure. Epilepsy was not always known

manage daily life. What happens when one of those parts malfunctions? In particular, what happens when the brain is unable to send messages properly? Epilepsy is a complex brain disorder that can have extreme effects in the body, but with the right treatment, seizures and serious side effects may be avoided. First, in order to understand Epilepsy, the definition of a seizure must be understood. According the Mayo Clinic (2015), A seizure is a sudden surge of abnormal electrical activity in the
