About Seizures
Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The abnormal activity affects behavior, causing symptoms like staring, confusion, involuntary muscle movement, and/or loss of consciousness. Seizures may occur from an underlying medical conditions like a brain injury, stroke, or an infection. However, seizures that occur spontaneously more than once may be signs of epilepsy.
Seizure Q & A
What are the types of seizures?
Seizures are classified into types based on the area of the brain affected and the type of symptoms you have. Seizures fall into one of two categories: generalized or focal seizures.
How are seizures diagnosed?
When you come in with concerns about seizures for you or your child, your provider takes an in-depth history and performs a neurological exam to get you the right diagnosis. Further evaluation may also include an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a diagnostic test that assesses electrical activity in your brain. EEGs can help find out what type of epilepsy or seizures you are experiencing, and prescribe appropriate medication.
