Epilepsy, a general introduction
goodtoknow says: Epilepsy is very common and causes repeated seizures in the brain which used to be known as convulsions or fits. Around 1 in 30 people in the UK are epileptic, it can happen at any age, and is usually diagnosed with a brain scan or EEG. Common triggers for seizures, which usually only last a few minutes, include stress and anxiety, tiredness and medication such as anti-depressants. Nobody knows why some people develop epilepsy but modern treatments are extremely effective and allow most people to control their epilepsy very well, with few or no seizures.
