Organizations Fact Sheet 6 (FS6) January 2004 Approx. 4 pages when printed. PDF version Definition According to the Epilepsy Foundation of America, epilepsy is a physical condition that occurs when there is a sudden, brief change in how the brain works. When brain cells are not working properly, a person's consciousness, movement, or actions may be altered for a short time. These physical changes are called epileptic seizures. Epilepsy is therefore sometimes called a seizure disorder. Epilepsy affects people in all nations and of all races. Some people can experience a seizure and not have epilepsy. For example, many young children have convulsions from fevers. These febrile convulsions are one type of seizure. Other types of seizures not classified as epilepsy include those caused by an imbalance of body fluids or chemicals or by alcohol or drug withdrawal. A single seizure does not mean that the person has epilepsy. Back to top Incidence About two million Americans have epilepsy; of the 125,000 new cases that develop each year, up to 50% are in children and adolescents.

You Are Not Alone—Toolkit for Parents of Teens with Epilepsy Living Well with Epilepsy—(PDF 976k) Report of the 2003 National Conference on Public Health and Epilepsy One of the Nation’s Most Common Disabling Neurological Conditions Epilepsy is a general term that includes various types of seizures. People with diagnosed epilepsy have had more than one seizure, and they may have had more than one kind of seizure. A seizure happens when abnormal electrical activity in the brain causes an involuntary change in body movement or function, sensation, awareness, or behavior. Epilepsy affects about 2.3 million Americans, and results in an estimated annual cost of $12.5 billion in medical costs and lost or reduced earnings and production. People of all ages are affected, but particularly the very young and the elderly. About 10% of Americans will experience a seizure sometime during their lifetime, and about 3% will have had a diagnosis of epilepsy by age 80. The first national conference on public health and epilepsy, Living Well with Epilepsy I, convened in 1997. The conference was co-sponsored by CDC, the American Epilepsy Society (AES), the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC), and the Epilepsy Foundation (EF). This conference defined the aim of epilepsy treatment as "no seizures, no side effects." Its key messages can be summarized as: "take seizures seriously, do it early, do it right the first time, be systematic, efficient and effective, and empower the patient."

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain. In people with epilepsy, brain cells create abnormal electricity that causes seizures. A seizure may cause "jerking" movements. In some cases, seizures cause only a loss of consciousness, a period of confusion, a staring spell or muscle spasms. A single seizure is not considered epilepsy. People with epilepsy have repeated episodes of seizures. Epilepsy is not a mental illness, and it is not a sign of low intelligence. It is also not contagious. Between seizures, a person with epilepsy is no different from anyone else. Return to top What should I do when someone has a seizure? If you have epilepsy, you may want to share the following information with your family, friends and coworkers. If someone near you has a seizure, use the following general guidelines: Stay calm.

What can I do to help protect myself and my baby? What can I expect when I'm pregnant? Epilepsy and Pregnancy: What You Should Know Printer-friendly version Email this article Are there risks to me if I become pregnant? Women with epilepsy who become pregnant have a higher risk for complications than women who don't have epilepsy. These complications include the possibility that your seizures will occur more often. The seizures can cause you to fall and have a serious injury. When you are pregnant, your body processes your anti-seizure medicines differently. This can lead to medicine levels that are too high (which can cause side effects) or too low (which can mean more seizures). Every woman who has epilepsy and becomes pregnant will react differently, so your doctor will talk to you about the risks and monitor you and your baby closely.

www.epilepsy.ca pilepsy (ep-i-lep-sy) is sometimes called a seizure disorder. A seizure disorder is a kind of illness that only happens sometimes. It's not the kind of illness that makes you feel sick inside. It's not the kind of illness that makes you cough and sneeze. It's not the kind of illness that means you have to stay in bed and have your temperature taken. A child who has epilepsy feels just as healthy as everyone else most of the time. But sometimes she/he may have a seizure. This Website is all about seizures. If you have epilepsy, it's good to find out as much as you can about it. You'll know how your seizures happen You'll know how your medicine works and why you have to take it every day. Then you can tell other boys and girls who might want to know. If there's something on this Website that you don't understand, ask your mom or dad to explain it to you. If you have a special question about your seizure disorder, ask your doctor about it when you go for your next check up.
