Seizure Disorder / Epilepsy

Episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause spells, shaking, blanking out, or other symptoms.

In simple language

Seizures happen when brain activity becomes abnormal for a short period of time. Epilepsy means there is an ongoing tendency to have seizures, though the exact pattern can look very different from person to person.

Safety, medication timing, sleep, stress, and trigger tracking often matter as much as the diagnosis label itself.
