What
are seizures?
Seizures are abnormal movements or sensations that occurs
as a result of excessive activities of some parts of the brain. The
manifestation depends on the part of the brain affected, for example if the area
affected is responsible for movement, abnormal movements like jerking may be
observed. In severe cases, it leads to loss of consciousness.
When seizures occur repeatedly over several days, it is called epilepsy.
Occasionally, a doctor may make a diagnosis of epilepsy after a single seizure.
