Epilepsy is heard and believed that epilepsy or "fainting sick or fits" is caused by witchcraft, generational curses or being possessed by evil spirits. Well, you believed in a lie all your life because epilepsy is a very treatable medical condition which affects the brain.

Epilepsy is a brain disease which occurs when the brain cells are releasing electrical messages called impulses, randomly and excessively leading to brain dysfunction. Our brain controls everything that goes on in our body including muscle contractions, forming of saliva in our mouth, urination and excretion. Under normal circumstances, the brain cells release small amounts of electrical energy to allow the brain to function properly. It is the proper functioning of the brain that allows you to resist urinating or excreting on yourself in public. You are able to walk around properly because the electrical impulses from the brain stimulate your muscles, causing them to contract and move your legs and arms.

However, when the brain is damaged, the brain cells start releasing electrical energy excessively and randomly leading to brain dysfunction. The stiffness and shaking of the arms and legs that you see during a convulsion is due to excessive electrical energy from the brain which stimulates muscles to contract excessively and randomly. Similarly, the foaming in the mouth during a convulsion is caused by excessive secretion of saliva due to excessive brain stimulation. Likewise, the reason why people excrete or urinate on themselves during epilepsy is because the brain is unable to control bladder and bowel movements as it is dysfunctional during a convulsion.
