Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-Up of Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder in which abnormal electrical activity in the brain causes recurrent seizures. Seizures can vary widely in type and severity, ranging from brief episodes of altered awareness to generalized convulsions. While a single seizure does not necessarily indicate epilepsy, the diagnosis is generally based on recurrent unprovoked seizures and a comprehensive neurological evaluation. Early diagnosis, individualized treatment, and regular follow-up are essential for effective seizure control and improving quality of life.
