It is the disease of the brain characterized by

During the attack of epilepsy there is an excessive flow of current from nerve
cells and there are contractions in the body resulting in the imbalance of the
brain.
Epilepsy is related to the brain. Countless cells of brain
release innumerable directive waves. Another part of the brain contracts these
directive waves and ensures the compliance of only the right directions. When
an imbalance occurs in this function, epilepsy takes place. Other factors
causing epilepsy include is brain injury, high fever, meningitis, brain cancer
etc.
This disease can strike any one at any age.

Epilepsy can be categorized in several ways according to its symptoms but the
two main categories are the serious epilepsy (grand-mal epilepsy) and the
ordinary epilepsy (perit-mal epilepsy).
The patients usually suffer from convulsive fit when they
are in mental or physical stress. Any situation which can create excitement
like great height, depth or rapid flow of water can start epileptic fit.
Usually, the patient can feels that it is coming. It may start with headache,
giddiness, restlessness and patient seeks support and soon collapses. There is
sharp contraction in hands and feet and sufferer begins to froth from mouth.

jaws and teeth. The color of the face and size of the pupils can also undergo a
change. Sometimes person suffering from epilepsy passes the stool as well as
urine in the clothes.

of consciousness and amnesia. The patient suddenly becomes quiet, stares and
