Tonic–clonic seizure

called a seizure disorder, is a disease that affects many people around the world. Epilepsy causes people to have epileptic seizures. This illness causes about 50,000 deaths each year and believe it or not, the harm that a person could inflict on themselves is more dangerous that the seizure itself. Since Epilepsy is a seizure disorder, most of the symptoms are actually symptoms due to seizures. Symptoms also vary depending on what type of seizure the person is having; however most seizures are classified

Epilepsy is a disorder where nerve cell activity in the brain becomes disturbed. This activity causes sporadic electrical “storms” in the brain called seizures. During seizures, people experience unusual behavior and symptoms. There are two major types of epilepsy, idiopathic/cryptogenic, symptomatic. Both of these have different causes and affect the body and mind in particular ways. Idiopathic epilepsy is commonly associated with cryptogenic because they are very similar. However, there

People are usually diagnosed after having two seizures that was caused by a known medical condition such as extremely low blood sugar or withdrawal from alcohol. “A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain that usually

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 to be a medical issue

of neurological activity becomes distorted, causing odd sensations such as behavioral and emotional, muscle spasms, sometimes convulsions and loss of consciousness can occur. Seizure disorders originate from a pathogenic process, head trauma, metabolic processes, exogenous or endogenous poisons, and a simple fever. Seizures may be a result from an exposure to many types of poisons such as lead and carbon monoxide but it can also

Autism spectrum disorder is complex in and of itself but that complexity is only compounded by the comorbid conditions that can come with it. Some of these include sensory processing disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and seizures. Understanding the disorder and its comorbid conditions is challenging yet important for parents, medical professionals, and educators. A common comorbidity of autism spectrum disorder is sensory processing disorder. Sensory processing disorder is the breakdown

Epilepsy is a disorder when a person or an animal has unpredictable seizures. Someone has a seizure when their brain has abnormal and sudden electrical activity. There are so many triggers for seizures, such as missing your medication, being sleep deprived, being extremely stressed, low blood sugar, and bright lights. Epilepsy is such a complex disorder, yet people make it seem like something small and simple thing. If you have a seizure one day, but do not ever have another one ever again, do you have

that they have the symptom of seizures, and all have the same direct cause. A seizure is caused when the electrical pattern of neuronal movement is disrupted by an abnormal current. This can result in muscle spasms, loss of consciousness, convulsions and strange sensations or emotions. Anything that interferes with the brains electrical current can lead to seizures. Being epileptic does not mean that a person has had a seizure before, it is a tendency for recurring seizures. Different types of epilepsy

The Care of Seizure Patients Many people who have had a seizure disorders can have an ordinary life while others may need the help of an aide. In an article by the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan, they state, “Living with epilepsy is often associated with fear: fear of having a seizure in public, fear of injury, fear of losing one’s job, fear of dying, and many other legitimate fears.” With the help of an aide, the patient may be able to overcome some fears associated with the seizure disorder. There

neurological condition of the brain that is also known as seizure disorder causing an individual to have recurrent seizures (“Epilepsy and Seizures”). Epilepsy and seizures are often interchangeable when defining a neurological condition; both involve the nervous system. The primary difference is that epilepsy is a disorder and seizures are considered a symptom. An individual can experience changes in behavior and their ability to focus. The seizures happen when the electrical activity of the brain is
