About Epilepsy in Mumbai
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterised by a tendency to have recurrent, unprovoked seizures, which result from sudden, abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain. A single seizure does not necessarily mean a person has epilepsy, but the condition is generally diagnosed after two or more unprovoked seizures occurring more than 24 hours apart. Seizures can vary widely in presentation, ranging from brief lapses in awareness to convulsions involving the entire body, depending on which area and how much of the brain is affected by the abnormal electrical activity. Epilepsy can develop at any age and from a wide range of causes, though in a substantial proportion of cases no specific underlying cause is identified. With appropriate treatment, the majority of people with epilepsy achieve good seizure control and are able to lead full, active lives, though the condition requires ongoing management and certain lifestyle precautions.
