About Epilepsy
People who have epilepsy suffer from recurring seizures. A seizure is a sudden, excessive discharge of electrical activity in the brain or nervous system that causes a change in behavior, movement, sensation or consciousness. While this condition affects nearly one percent of the population, it can usually be controlled effectively with epilepsy medications like Topamax, Depakote, and Lamictal.
