Episode Details

Epilepsy is a neurological condition identified by recurring seizures, which are quick, uncontrollable electrical disruptions in the brain. One of the most common fallacies regarding epilepsy is that it is invariably accompanied by convulsions or falls to the ground. Seizures can take many forms, including staring spells, short confusion, muscle spasms, and even minor movements such as lip-smacking or repetitive hand gestures.
