Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures. Seizures are episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause a wide range of symptoms, including loss of consciousness, jerking movements, and sensory disturbances. Epilepsy is a serious condition that can have a significant impact on a person’s life, but there are a number of things that can be done to help prevent seizures.
The most important step in preventing epilepsy is to identify and avoid triggers. Triggers are factors that can increase the likelihood of a seizure, and they can vary from person to person. Some common triggers include stress, lack of sleep, certain medications, and exposure to flashing lights. By identifying and avoiding triggers, people with epilepsy can help to reduce the frequency and severity of their seizures.
