International Epilepsy Day!!

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden, temporary disturbances in brain function. It is also a chronic condition that affects the brain's electrical activity, leading to seizures. These seizures can vary in severity, frequency, and impact on daily life.

Where does Epilepsy affect?
Epilepsy affects the brain, specifically the neurons and their connections. During a seizure, abnormal electrical activity disrupts normal brain function, leading to changes in behavior, sensation, or consciousness.

Myths and Conceptions
Unfortunately, epilepsy is often surrounded by myths and misconceptions:

1. Epilepsy is contagious; Reality: Epilepsy is not contagious and cannot be spread through touch, saliva, or other means.
2. People with epilepsy are mentally ill or have a low IQ; Reality: Epilepsy is a neurological condition, and people with epilepsy have normal intelligence and mental health.
3. Epilepsy is caused by evil spirits or curses; Reality: Epilepsy is a medical condition caused by genetic, environmental, or other factors.
4. People with epilepsy should avoid exercise or physical activity; Reality: Regular exercise can help people with epilepsy manage their condition and improve overall health.

Symptoms
Seizure symptoms can vary depending on the type of epilepsy and the individual:

1. Convulsions: Sudden, involuntary muscle contractions.
2. Loss of consciousness: Temporary loss of awareness or responsiveness.
3. Changes in behavior: Sudden, unusual behaviors, such as staring or wandering.
4. Sensory disturbances: Altered sensations, such as numbness, tingling, or hallucinations.

While there are lot of myths and misconception about Epilepsy, kindly take any Epileptic Patients to the nearest Hospital for early diagnosis, and treatment.

The Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital Dawanau, hope this information helps general public better understand epilepsy!
