Epilepsy
- Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain. When someone has epilepsy, it means they have a tendency to have epileptic seizures.
- Anyone can have a one-off seizure, but this doesn’t always mean they have epilepsy. Epilepsy is usually only diagnosed if a doctor thinks there’s a high chance that the person could have more seizures.
- Epilepsy can start at any age and there are many different types. Some types of epilepsy last for a limited time and the child or young person eventually stops having seizures. But for many, epilepsy is a life-long condition.
