what is epilepsy, and how can it be cured?

Answer 1

Epilepsy results when something interferes with electrical impulses in the brain. The cause of epilepsy is not always clear. Less than one-half of people with epilepsy have an identifiable, primary cause. Epilepsy is sometimes the result of another condition, such as head injury, brain tumor, brain infection, or stroke. Medication can effectively control seizures in many people with epilepsy. Other treatments that help control seizures include surgery, a special diet, or a device that stimulates nerves. A combination of these treatments may be tried when medication alone does not control seizures.

Answer 2

Epilepsy (sometimes referred to as a seizure disorder) is the most common chronic neurological condition and is characterized by recurrent unprovoked epileptic seizures. It affects approximately 50 million people worldwide.[1] It is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication – although surgery may be considered in difficult cases.
