Opis

Epilepsy is a common medical and social disorder or group of disorders with unique characteristics. Epilepsy is usually defined as a tendency to recurrent seizures. The word "epilepsy" is derived from Latin and Greek words for "seizure" or "to seize upon". This implies that epilepsy is an ancient disorder; indeed, in all civilizations, it can be traced as far back as medical records exist. In fact, epilepsy is a disorder that can occur in all mammalian species, probably more frequently as brains have become more complex. Epilepsy is also remarkably uniformly distributed around the world. There are no racial, geographical or social class boundaries. It occurs in both sexes, at all ages, especially in childhood, adolescence, and increasingly in aging populations.
