What Is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain and causes repeated seizures, which were sometimes previously referred to as "fits".

Electrical activity is happening in our brain all the time. A seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of intense electrical activity in the brain. This is often referred to as epileptic activity. The epileptic activity causes a temporary disruption to the way the brain normally works, so the brain’s messages become mixed up. The brain is responsible for all the functions of your body. What happens to you during a seizure will depend on where in your brain the epileptic activity begins, and how widely and quickly it spreads.

There are many different types of seizure, and each person will experience epilepsy in a way that is unique to them.
