Understanding Epilepsy
The Human Brain and Seizures
The human brain is the most complex organ in the body. It is made up almost entirely of nerve cells.
What is Epilepsy?
Anyone can have a seizure under certain circumstances and not all seizures result in a diagnosis of epilepsy.
Seizure Types and Classification
Seizures can be divided into two major groups, partial and generalised
Photosensitive Epilepsy
When seizures are triggered by flashing lights and/or patterns
Nocturnal Seizures - Seizures During Sleep
Epilepsy has a complex association with sleep
