Seizure Disorders
Seizure disorders are conditions that can cause seizures, sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain that may change how a person feels, moves or is aware.
Key points
- Episodes can vary. A seizure may happen while a person is awake or asleep, and may not look the same every time.
- Context helps. What occurs before, during and after a seizure can help distinguish it from events that may look similar.
- Epilepsy is one cause. Not every seizure is linked to epilepsy, and seizure disorders include a range of causes and experiences.
- Management differs. The way a seizure disorder is managed can vary with the seizure type and its cause.
